Many home sellers are wary to list their home during the holiday season, but in reality, should you be? Sellers feel that the holiday season can be crazy enough and who has time to search for a home?
However, there are several factors to consider:
1) Competition is scarce. Due to this misconception that people do not buy homes during the holidays, less sellers list their homes between November and January. Take advantage of this!
2) Buyers are now buying year round. Buyers have access to the MLS and online real estate tools at the tip of their fingers with smart phones. They NEVER stop looking. That means any time of year is a good time!
3) Buyers who are looking during the holidays are serious. This means the buyers viewing your house are more likely to make offers if they are carving out time in their busy schedules to view properties during the holiday season.
4) Buying a home is an emotional process, and holiday décor plays on those emotions. A beautiful Christmas tree, a gorgeous menorah display, or some festive lights can heighten those homey vibes! Just don't go overboard... yes, put away those inflatables.. yes, I am talking to you!
