As Fall gives way and Winter begins to make its present felt, this is
the time of year when we approach the holiday season.
Many home owners thinking
of selling typically wait during this period because of the mistaken belief
that the market is slowing down and they may not be successful in selling their
home this time of year.
If you are considering selling your home but are hesitant to do so,
here are 12 reasons why listing during the holiday season might be your best
bet.
- Buyers
who are looking in November and December are typically very serious home
Buyers.
- Smaller
supply for Buyers to choose from… better odds than at any other time of
the year for a home Seller.
- Number
of homes for sale in January and on will increase dramatically.
- A
home that is decorated for the Holidays shows very well!
- Holiday
emotionalism is also at a peak for home Buyers… more open to higher
prices.
- Buyers
looking during the Holidays typically have more time to look for a home
than they do during a normal working week.
- Significant
percentage of Buyers must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons.
Often times in the case of a transfer, the buying decision must be “on the
books” by the end of December.
- January
is oftentimes the month for transferees to begin jobs. Homes must be on
the market earlier to be available for those individuals.
- You
can restrict showings at peak times of the month. Minimizes the
inconvenience factor.
- Sell
now for more money and arrange a longer closing. This will allow the home
Seller to have a larger selection to choose from in the new year.
- Sell
now, become a firm home Buyer and strengthen your negotiating position
when the supply increases in the new year.
- Possible increase in interest rates can negatively affect prices.
