7 Reasons to List Your Home During the Holidays

Holiday-Proof-Your-Real-Estate-BusinessYou’ve probably heard the misconception that the Holiday season is not a good time to list your home for sale. The truth is, the winter months are the perfect opportunity for you to have success with selling your home. Below is a list of reasons explaining why the holidays are a great time to put your home on the market:

  1. While there may be less buyers out there, people who look for a home during the holidays are serious. They are ready to buy.Holiday Money

  2. There are fewer homes for buyers to look at during the holidays, which means less competition for you. Less competition equals more money.

  3. Your home shows better when it’s decorated for the holidays! Lights on your home and garland on the stairs are a nice touch to give your home that warm feeling of the holidays.

  4. After the holidays, the supply of listings increases substantially, which lowers the demand for your home. More competition equals less money.

  5. Many buyers have more time to look for property during the holidays – as opposed to a normal work week.

  6. You can restrict the showings on your home to the times you want it shown. You can even agree to have ‘blackout dates’ for showings. You remain in control.

  7. You can delay the closing, or even extend occupancy into next year when moving is more convenient. Sell now for more and not have to move until January or February…as opposed to starting the whole process at that time.
