Many people believe that the best time to list a home for sale is in the spring, but, contrary to popular opinion, the holiday season can be a wonderful time to offer your home for sale!
The spring months do tend to be the most popular months for home sellers, so the competition is increased due to the quantity of homes for sale. Some of these homes may be overpriced and sellers
not realistic about selling, but agents may show them in spite of that - perhaps not allowing buyers to view yours.
In fact, during the height of the selling season, your home may be just one in a hundred in the price range, making marketing much more difficult. In the spring, buyers who are not seriously prepared to make a purchase will be out scouting around - perhaps just dreaming about owning their own home, "someday.''
On the other hand, home sellers can be sure that buyers shopping for a home during the holiday season are pretty serious about their plans to purchase. Homes look beautiful during the holidays - decked out with gorgeous decorations, fire glowing in the fireplace, a vision of homey loveliness, filled with the delicious scents of holiday baking.
It would be easy for a potential buyer to see their family cozy up in your house during next year's special season!
The end of the year is also a great time to purchase another home.
Buyers and sellers are ready, and, as a real estate agent, I have more time to lavish on individual clients. In addition, interest rates remain low for the time being, and the overall financial picture is wonderful!
Buyers are serious, the competition is lighter, your home is filled with holiday cheer, and the finance possibilities are stable and diverse. What better time to sell your home than now?
