Here are three reasons to consider selling your home this holiday season.
As we’re heading toward the holiday season, we still have a lot of homeowners who are considering selling. They’re reaching out to me and asking about the holiday market, so I wanted to share three reasons why this is still a great time to sell despite what people may think:
1. Buyer quality is higher. Not everybody wants to move during the holidays. Those who are looking during this time of year are serious buyers, not the casual ones that we often see in the spring or summer.
2. Supply is lower. There are fewer homes available for sale during this time of year. While some sellers think that waiting until spring or summer will let them sell quicker and for more money, there will also be more competition, so that big advantage might not be there.
“There is a higher concentration of serious buyers during the holidays.”
3. You’ll get more money. With less competition, your home stands out more, and you’re much more likely to get a better price on your home sale. The one or two buyers looking in your area may be put in a competitive situation and end up bidding your property up.
These are just a few of the reasons why it’s still a great idea to put a home on the market during the holidays. If you’re seriously thinking about selling this holiday season or you have any real estate-related questions at all, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
