10 Reasons to List During the Holidays
With the end of the year quickly approaching and the start of a new one right around the corner, I wanted to provide you with a little insight on why NOW is the best time to make your move!
1. People who look at property during the holidays are serious buyers and are more ready to make a concrete decision.
2. Serious buyers usually have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays, so the property has less competition.
3. Houses “show better” when tastefully decorated for the holidays with the wonderful lights and festive colors associated with the season.
4. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays and often base their decision on the warmth and good feelings they receive when viewing the home.
5. Buyers have more time to look for a house during the holidays because they have designated time off from work to purchase a home.
6. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for financial and tax reasons.
7. January is traditionally the month for transfers. Transferees can’t wait until the spring to buy. These buyers need a home now and houses must be on the market to capture these buyers.
8. Sellers can restrict showings during personal family events and still take advantage of their homes being spruced up and decorated “show ready” property.
9. Sellers can sell now – but specify a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year if it is agreeable within the negotiations of the contract.
10. By selling now, sellers have the opportunity to buy during the spring – when more properties are on the market.
So there you have it, the top 10 Reasons why listing your home during the holidays is the best time of the year! If you want more information on your specific neighborhood and what your property is worth, give me a call today at 310-956-9385 or visit my website.
