We are back again, with the second half of our 11 reasons why listing during the holidays is a great idea. These last 5 are our top 5 reasons, in our opinion. Here they are:
7. Some people must buy before the end of the year
A lot of times this is because of tax or financial institution reasons. Sometimes banks give buyers an end of the year cutoff to purchase a home at a specific rate. Buyers need to take advantage of that before they lose it come January. Investors, for tax purposes, also need to purchase properties that have to hit the 2014 books.
8. January is when transfers begin new jobs
People that relocate due to employment don't have time to wait until the spring to buy. They want to buy at the beginning of the year and in order to capture that market, you need to have your home for sale now.
9. You can still be on the market and restrict showings
The holidays are a time for family, and everybody takes a little time off. If you want to take a few days, maybe even a few weeks of time with your family, that is no problem. You can still be on the market, take advantage of it, and still have time to enjoy with your family by suspending showings for a little while. 10. Sell now for more money with a delayed closing
You could sell today, get a great price, and extend your closing until February or March. This way you can enjoy your home through the winter and early spring, and aren't pressured to find a home to buy right away.
11. You can be a non-contingent buyer in the spring
There are many more homes for sale in the springtime, and by selling now when buyers are out there, it will allow you to sell high and buy low in the spring. If you take action and sell your home now, you won't have anything holding you back in the spring and you can take advantage of some really great conditions.
There you have it, 11 reasons to list your home during the holiday. It is an underrated selling season, and the benefits you can reap are enormous. If you have any questions at all, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We would be glad to answer any and all of them.
