3 Reasons To Sell Your Home During The Winter Holidays
The advantages of selling your home can add up. Look below to see why it might be a good idea to sell your home now.
Less Competition:
Most folks will be waiting until the spring, after the busy holiday season to sell. Because sellers will flood the market in the spring, your home becomes just another fish in the big seller's pond.
One realtor says that since very few homes hit the market in December and January, you've got serious buyers ready to pounce on what's available now.
Homes listed in winter are more likely to sell within six months or less compared to homes listed in other seasons according to a recent Redfin study of 19 metropolitan cities.
Serious Buyers:
Since most folks really don't want to be slushing through winter frost, those who are in search of a new home are serious buyers. Also, since people have more time off during this time of year, it's a good time for buyers to be looking at homes.
Winter buyers are also working with deadlines – expiring leases, relocation or other contracts.
Ready For Visitors:
So as buyers come in from the cold, visiting your nice warm home that is already prepared for visitors is a welcomed experience.
A couple of suggestions to make your home welcoming to buyers include :
-
Create ambiance with a cozy fire if you have a fireplace, soft background music and maybe a little something baking in the oven.
-
Brighten up your home with some outside lights since it gets dark early.
-
Keep things simple. Don't overdue it.
