Your House May Be High on the Buyer Wish List This Holiday Season
Around this time each year, many homeowners decide to wait until after the holidays to sell their houses. Similarly, others who already have their homes on the market remove their listings until the spring. Let’s unpack the top reasons why selling your house now, or keeping it on the market this season, is the best choice you can make. This year, buyers want to purchase homes for the holidays, and your house might be the perfect match.
Here are seven great reasons not to wait to sell your house this holiday season:
1. Buyers are active now. Mortgage rates are historically low, providing motivation for those who are ready to get more for their money over the life of their home loan.
2. Purchasers who look for homes during the holidays are serious ones, and they’re ready to buy.
3. You can restrict the showings in your house to days and times that are most convenient for you, or even select virtual options. You’ll remain in control, especially in today’s sellers’ market.
4. Homes decorated for the holidays appeal to many buyers.
5. Today, there’s minimal competition for you as a seller. There just aren’t enough houses on the market to satisfy buyer demand, meaning sellers are in the driver’s seat. Over the past year, inventory has declined to record lows, making it the opportune time to sell your house (See graph below):6. The desire to own a home doesn’t stop during the holidays. Buyers who have been searching throughout the fall and have been running into more and more bidding wars are still on the lookout. Your home may be the answer.
7. This season is the sweet spot for sellers, and the number of listings will increase after the holidays. In many parts of the country, more new construction will also be available for sale in 2021, which will lessen the demand for your house next year.
Bottom Line
More than ever, this may be the year it makes the most sense to list your house during the holiday season. Let’s connect today to determine if selling now is your best move.

7 Reasons to Work With a REALTOR®
REALTORS® aren’t just agents. They’re professional members of
the National Association of REALTORS® and subscribe to its strict code of ethics.
This is the REALTOR® difference for home buyers:
1. Ethical
treatment.
Every REALTOR® must adhere to a strict code of ethics, which is based on
professionalism and protection of the public. As a REALTOR®’s client, you can
expect honest and ethical treatment in all transaction-related matters. The
first obligation is to you, the client.
2.
An
expert guide.
Buying a home usually requires dozens of forms, reports, disclosures, and other
technical documents. A knowledgeable expert will help you prepare the best
deal, and avoid delays or costly mistakes. Also,
there’s a lot of jargon involved, so you want to work with a professional who can speak the language.
3.
Objective
information and opinions.
REALTORS® can provide local information on utilities, zoning, schools, and
more. They also have objective information about each property. REALTORs® can
use that data to help you determine if the property has what you need. By
understanding both your needs and search area, they can also point out
neighborhoods you don’t know much about but that might suit your needs better
than you’d thought.
4.
Expanded
search power.
Sometimes properties are available but not actively advertised. A REALTOR® can
help you find opportunities not listed on home search sites and can help you
avoid out-of-date listings that might be showing up as available online but are
no longer on the market.
5.
Negotiation
knowledge.
There are many factors up for discussion in a deal. A REALTOR® will look at
every angle from your perspective, including crafting a purchase agreement that
allows enough time for you to complete inspections and investigations of the
property before you are bound to complete the purchase.
6.
Up-to-date
experience.
Most people buy only a few homes in their lifetime, usually with quite a few
years in between each purchase. Even if you’ve done it before, laws and
regulations change. REALTORS® handle hundreds of transactions over the course
of their career.
7.
Your
rock during emotional moments.
A home is so much more than four walls and a roof. And for most people,
property represents the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. Having a concerned,
but objective, third party helps you stay focused on the issues most important
to you.
