11 Reasons to List Your Home During the Holiday Season

• People who look for a home during the holidays are more serious buyers.
• Serious buyers have fewer homes to choose from during the holidays and less competition means more money for you.
• Since the supply of homes will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home. Less demand means less money for you.
• Houses show better when decorated for the holidays.
• Buyers are more emotional during the holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price.
• Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than they do during a working week.
• Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax purposes.
• January is traditionally the month for employees to start new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until spring to buy, you must be listed now to capture that market.
• You can still be on the market, but you have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days of the holidays.
• You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year.
• By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a "non-contingent buyer" during the spring when many more houses are on the market for less money allowing you to sell high and buy low.
