You may find yourself overloaded with seasonal obligations during the month of December (decorating the house, shopping, entertaining, charity work) and you may be tempted to take your home off the market during the holidays. Most top Realtors agree that taking your home off the market during the Christmas season is a mistake. The holidays are a wonderful selling period. Why? Here are a few reasons:
- Buyers who are actively looking during the holidays are much more serious about buying.
- Many buyers prefer to shop for a home after the busy spring and summer rush. They know it will be easier to look and that negotiations will be less stressful.
- Relocating families need to move during all seasons. These families are much more motivated to get their families settled either before the January semester of school begins or to arrange for the move during spring break in March.
- Cleaning and decorating your home for the holiday season will make it even more beautiful and inviting for buyers. Get the family to do a quick pick-up every morning to keep holiday messes to a minimum.
- If you do get a contract, you can arrange for a 30 to 60 day closing if moving during the holidays isn't an option you want to consider.
