The holidays are coming up, believe it or not, and it is, surprisingly, a great time to put your home on the market. We aren't just saying this, we have proof to back it up. In part 1 of our blog, we are going to discuss 6 reasons to list during the holidays. This is a great time in the real estate market, let us tell you why:
1. People who look for homes during the holidays are serious buyers
If a buyer is actively seeking out homes while the weather outside is dark, cold, and snowy, they are more than likely a serious buyer. We see this all the time, as casual buyers aren't going to go out of their way to see a home when the weather is bad.
2. Serious buyers have fewer options this time of year
Less competition for you on the market translates to more money in your pocket. Anytime there is low inventory, it raises the value of homes. The holiday season is a great time for sellers, as buyers don't have a lot to choose from. This results in increased value for your home.
3. There will be less demand for your home come January
Less demand for your home equals less money for you. Why wait until the beginning of the year, when your competition will quadruple in just weeks? Inventory is extremely low right now, and taking advantage of this fact will get you a much better price for your home. 4. Homes show better when decorated for the holidays
If you are already having people over for the holidays, you will clean up, make things look cozy, maybe even decorate the walls. Buyers love all of this, and makes your home look much better in their eyes.
5. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays
Because of this, they are more likely to pay your price. We want to take advantage of that warm, fuzzy feeling people get around the holidays and in terms of selling, more emotional buyers are great for you.
6. Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays
You probably know someone, if not many people, that are taking some time off work during the end of the year. These are all times for buyers to come look at homes if they are seriously considering purchasing.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We will be back soon, with part 2 of our blog and the remaining 5 reasons why the holidays are such a great time to list.
