Why wait until Jan 1st to put your home on the market?
True, not so many people are looking to purchase a home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. But the few Buyers out there shopping for a new home during the Holidays are usually REAL and MOTIVATED. Remember, the quality of showings is more important than the quantity. I would rather have one motivated relocation Buyer look at my house the day after Thanksgiving than three casual “I’m in the preliminary stages of the house-hunt” Buyers searching for decorating ideas.
Another reason to put your house on the market now versus later. If you list your home for sale the first week of January, you will be joining hundreds of other Sellers who wanted to wait until the Holidays were over to hit the Multiple Listing Service. Why get lost in the shuffle? Come online now and standout. Don’t allow the avalanche of new inventory to limit your exposure. Open your house up to the relocation Buyer that has to start in January! Or the cash Buyer that must reinvest money into a property by December 31st to avoid tax consequences.
So don’t delay. List your home during the Holidays and be closing escrow when all your neighbors decide to open their doors!
