If you’re considering selling your house, here are four reasons selling soon may be a great idea

Most people put their homes on the market in the spring, but there are still buyers needing to purchase from Thanksgiving until the new year and through the rest of winter. If you’re considering selling your house, here are four reasons selling soon may be a great idea:

  1. Less inventory. There are fewer properties on the market during the holiday season, so you have less competition and can command a higher asking price.
  1. More serious buyers. People generally do not want to waste their time simply looking at homes for fun during the holidays. The buyers that are looking in the winter are serious and ready to purchase. 
  1. Cozy ambiance. Your house is likely decorated for the holidays, and that creates a warm feeling where buyers can envision themselves spending their own holidays in the home. Consider building a fire in the fireplace or putting a pie in the oven to bake, these create pleasant feelings for buyers.

If you stage and price your house properly, you can sell quickly.

  1. Appealing neighborhood. Neighborhoods and communities are commonly decorated with lights, wreaths, and other decor during the holidays. This creates a festive, cheerful feeling for buyers. 

If you stage and price your house properly, you can sell quickly and be on your way to your new home in 2021. 

If you’re thinking about selling during the holidays or have any questions, please reach out via phone or email. We would love to help you. Happy holidays!
