It is a common misconception that selling your home during
the holiday season is a bad idea. Many people assume that selling your home in
the holidays will be extra stressful, or that no one is looking to buy during
the holidays.
This is not True!
Here are some reasons why Selling your home during the holidays is actually an advantage to you!
People who look to purchase a home during the holidays are more serious buyers. Additionally, those serious buyers will have less homes to choose from because many sellers elect not to sell during the holiday season. Less homes for sale means there is less competition between you and other sellers this means you will receive more of your hard-earned equity in your bank account.
Many people have time off work during the Holiday season, allowing more time to actively shop for a home before the New Year. Houses tend to show better when they are decorated for the holidays. This connection people have toward the holiday season can cause buyers to make more emotional decisions and more likely to meet your terms.
There are many reasons that would motivate a buyer to pursue purchasing Real Estate during the Holiday season. For many people, purchasing a property before the end of the year is beneficial for tax reasons, for others it may be an imminent job transfer in January that cause them to be in desperate need of a place to leave. This is good news for sellers because January is a very popular time for homes to come to market, when that happens there will be less demand for your home. Less demand means less money.
