We're often asked, "Should I wait for spring to sell?" I get it. There are a lot of factors to consider, many of which are personal! There are pros and cons to waiting. Let's take a look at eleven reasons that this is a great time to list!
- People who come out during the holidays are less like likely to be lookers and more likely to be serious buyers.
- There is less inventory which means less competition and usually higher offers.
- Supply after the first of the year will greatly increase, which will mean less demand for your property.
- Houses show better in their holiday splendor!
- Buyers during the holidays are more emotional - which can equate to paying your price!
- Holiday buyers usually have more time to review a property as work schedules are eased.
- Some purchase before January for tax reasons.
- Many people make work moves at the start of the year, so they want to secure a home before January.
- You can choose how often your home is shown during holiday season.
- You have the option to delay closing or extend occupancy into the new year.
- By selling now, you have the opportunity to potentially find a non-contingent buyer during the spring when more homes are on the market.
