Today we are going to talk about selling during the holidays. One thing that we have learned over the last 28 years is that the holidays are a great time of year to sell a home. A lot of agents like to take this time of year off, but we don’t. It’s not that we don’t enjoy the holidays or our time with our families, we keep working because our clients want and need us to. If you have been thinking about listing your home for sale, here are a few reasons why the holidays are a perfect time:

1. Less competition
The people that aren’t serious about selling their homes are going to take them off the market during this time of year. As a seller, that means buyers have fewer homes to choose from and your home will stand out more.

2. Homes show well during the holidays
This time of year is when homes show their best. Holiday decorations and bright lights are just a few of the reasons that home showings during the holidays have a better success rate.


3. Fewer casual buyers
The only buyers out looking for homes during this time of year are the ones serious about buying. That’s the kind of buyer you want as a seller, and in most cases they are looking to buy before the end of the year. 

Although there are fewer homes for sale on the market during the holidays, there aren’t any fewer buyers. Those who sold in October are looking to buy in November and December. Relocation buyers are also active during this time, as they are looking to find a place and move in by the end of the year. 

If you have any questions for us or are interested in putting your home on the market, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
