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!

If you want to be successful in getting your home sold, there are a few strategies you can use. Today, I’ve got five key tips and tricks.

1. Do not overprice your home. This is the most critical piece of advice I’ve got. Many sellers think they should price high to begin with, with the intention of lowering the listing if need be. However, this is a big mistake. Buyers today are more educated than ever before. If you hike up the price, buyers aren’t going to be interested because they know what values should look like in our market.

2. Have good curb appeal. A lot of sellers think they need to entirely re-landscape. But what I actually mean by having good curb appeal is to have a fresh and attractive-looking yard. You don’t have to go all out. All it takes is a mowed lawn, trimmed bushes, and possibly planting some flowers for color. A buyer should have a great first impression when they pull up to your home.

3. Fresh paint and carpet. These two home improvement items are the best you can make in terms of getting the most return on your investment. Just remember that paint and carpet should be in clean, neutral colors to attract buyers.

4. Declutter and stage your home. Anything that personalizes the home should be removed. Staging your home for sale is a lot different than living in it.

An experienced Realtor should be able to help you sell for the most money in the least amount of time.

5. Hire an experienced Realtor. The right professional will have the tools and resources to negotiate on your behalf and expose your property as much as possible. An experienced Realtor should be able to help you sell for the most money in the least amount of time.
