Top 10 Reasons: Marketing Your Home Through The Holidays
- If a buyer is willing to traipse through snow, wind and cold weather to see a home, they are most likely serious buyers.
- Buyers are more understanding if you turn down showings during the holidays. Feel free to limit showings when you are hosting family.
- There is less competition for buyers.
- Buyers relocating for business can’t wait until Spring.
- Fewer homes are on the market. Your home may sell for more money because you have less competition.
- Your home looks festive and bright during the holidays.
- January is often one of the biggest closing months. If you are not on the market, you can’t be included.
- You may not have many showings, but the ones you do have will be by more motivated, qualified buyers.
- When you sell during the winter, you have an opportunity to buy during
the spring market. More homes are available, which means a better selection. - Extended and Expanded Home Buyer Tax Credit – Includes first-time home buyers and existing home buyers.
