People who look for a home during the holidays tend to be more serious about buying. The serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays which in turn means less competition and more money for you. When the new year rolls around in January, the amount of listings will increase. With more properties on the market there will be less demand for your particular home.

Houses show better when decorated for the holidays! Buyers tend to be more emotional during the holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price if it’s something they really want.

Often, buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than during a regular work week, especially during winter vacations!

Traditionally, January is the month for corporate transferees to begin new jobs. Since these transferees can’t wait until spring to buy real estate, your house should be listed now for them to view on MLS.

You can have your house for sale on the real estate market and still have the option to restrict showings during the holidays for your special family occasions!

Best of all, you can sell now and arrange a delayed closing or extended occupancy til after the new year!
