Welcome back to my video blog! The other day someone asked me whether it’s a good time to sell during the holidays. I was so excited to get this question because I have 11 reasons why you should sell now.
- Buyers are more serious - If buyers are taking the time out of the craziness of the holidays, they are serious about finding and purchasing a home.
- There is less competition - There are fewer homes on the market.
- Fewer homes on the market means a better price for you.
- Houses show better - Who doesn’t love seeing lights, decorations and the smell of cooking and candles?
- Buyers are more emotional during the holidays.
- Buyers have more time off during the holiday season to view homes.
- A lot of buyers need to purchase before the end of the year.
- Relocation buyers need to buy now before their jobs start in the spring.
- You can restrict showings - You may be worried that showings will ruin your holiday plans, but we can restrict when buyers come look at your home.
- You can delay your closing - I understand you don’t want to pack up and move during the holidays. You can sell now and stay until after the holidays.
- If you sell now, you can be a non-contingent buyer - What does that mean? You can sell your home for a higher price now and buy for a lower price.
