Check out Dave Ramseys thoughts on selling your home during the holidays. 3 Advantages of Selling Your Home During the Holidays Thanks to reduced competition, motivated buyers and a warm and cheery holiday home, you can sell your home faster and for more money during the holiday season. We all know—or maybe we assume—that spring and summer are the best times to sell a home. And its true that many buyers do plan their new home purchases during the warmer months. But that doesnt mean all the serious buyers evaporate after Labor Day. If your home is for sale now, youre actually in a great position to sell your home faster and for more money by taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the holiday selling season. 1. Less Competition Youre not the only homeowner whos considered taking your home off the market during the holidays—most dont want the hassle. And most new sellers will decide to wait until the first of the year or even springtime to put their homes up for sale. Thats great news for you because you wont have to compete with dozens of other homes just like yours to get buyers attention. Reduced inventory means more buyers checking out your home, either online or in person. Keep their attention by making sure your home is priced to sell and that your home is in show condition at all times. 2. Motivated Buyers Anyone who takes time out of their busy holiday schedule to shop for a new home is serious about buying now. Perhaps they are buying a home for tax reasons or are relocating to start a new job in the new year. Maybe theyve been looking for months and just havent found that perfect home yet. Whatever their reason, make it easy for these folks to get a good look at your home by staying flexible with your showing times and be open to negotiating contract terms that work with their schedules. 3. Your Home Looks Great Emotion plays a huge role in which home a buyer purchases, and you can capitalize on that by making your home cozy and cheery during showings. Tasteful decorations and a minimum of clutter will allow buyers to see their own families celebrating the holidays in your home next year. Make sure your decorations enhance rather than detract from your homes best features, and remember to remove them as soon as the season is over. Want to test his theory?
