List your home during the holidays!

Posted by Mary Burke

Here are some great reasons to put your home on the market during the holidays!

 

1. Holiday decorated homes are very warm and appealing

2. Many home buyers want to buy before the end of the year for tax reasons. 

3. Home buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays.

4. Serious buyers have fewer houses to look at during the holidays. 

5. By selling now, you can specify a delayed closing or occupancy until early next year if you desire!

6. You may still restrict your showings during your personal family events.    

 

Bottom Line? By listing now you may have fewer actual showings, but more qualified and motivated buyers.

The Reason? You have less competition, resulting in a quicker sale. 

 

Currently inventory is dwindling and spring may bring fresh homes on the market as well as new competition. There are many home buyers still looking for homes today!  Call Mary Burke at 949-275-6544 or visit my web site and complete a short form to find out what your home is worth in the current market.
