I recently got an email from a past client who wants to sell their home. However, they asked, “Should I sell my home during the holidays?”
I get this question a lot this time of year. Believe it or not, now is a great time to put your home on the market for several reasons:
1. You have less competition. Many people think they should wait until after the first of the year. The reality is that since more sellers wait until after the first of the year to put their homes on the market, there will be more competition for you. As a seller, it’s more advantageous for you to sell your home before the beginning of the new year, as you will likely get more money.
Buyers are more serious about purchasing a home.
2. Buyers are more serious this time of year. Holiday homebuyers have to be in their new home by a certain date. You won’t have any looky-loos or showings that don’t amount to an offer. The buyers that go through your property are serious and want to buy a home.
3. Homes and neighborhoods show better during the holiday season. Thanks to all of the holiday decorations in your home and around the neighborhood, your home will look amazing, giving you an opportunity to get more money.
If you have any other questions about selling your home during the holidays, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
