Top Ten Reasons You Should List Your Home For Sale During The Holidays
There are many reasons you should list your home for sale during the holidays. The absolute best time of course is determined by your need to sell and the reasons and timing behind that decision. Here though are the Top Ten Reasons You Should List Your Home For Sale During The Holidays:
10.) By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring, when many more homes are on the market.
9.) Even though your home will be on the market, you still have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days around the holiday.
8.) January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until spring to buy, you need to be on the market during the holidays to capture that market.
7.) Some people must buy a home before the end of the year for tax reasons.
6.) Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than they do during a work week.
5.) Buyers are more emotional during the holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price.
4.) Homes show better when they are decorated for the holidays.
3.) Since the supply of homes for sale will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home. Less demand means less money for you.
2.) Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays and less competition means more money for you.
And the number one reason you should list your home for sale during the holidays…
1.) People who look for homes during the holidays are more serious buyers!
