10 Reasons to List Your Home During the Holidays

1. People who look for a home during the holidays are more serious buyers!

2. Inventory drops during the holiday season, meaning less competition for your home.

3. Houses show better when decorated for the holidays!

4. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays and more likely to pay asking price.

5. Buyers have more time to house-hunt during the holidays!

6. Some people must buy before year-end for tax purposes.

7. Many people start new jobs in January... those new to the area will be house-hunting before they start.

8. You can be on the market and still have the option to restrict showings during the days you are celebrating at home.

9. You can sell now at a better price and provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year.

10. By selling now, you have the opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring when there are more houses on the market for you to choose from!
