Sellers at this time of the year are often calling me to see if I think that they should remove their home from the market during the holidays. On the contrary there are benefits to leaving it on the market.
Off season buying time
Considered “Off Season,” it’s often thought of as a bad real estate decision to leave your home on the market while festivities abound and winter is in full swing, in fact leaving your home on the market during the holiday seasons frequently brings out motivated buyers. After all those that brave the elements are in fact enthusiastic about buying a home.
Less competition
Most home sellers will hold out for Spring before placing their home on the market. Keeping your home on the market during the holidays can provide you with less competition. With the tightening supply of homes for sale this can truly be an advantage when selling your home.
Capitalize on the season
Did you know that emotion plays a big role in which home a buyer selects? With that being said you can capitalize on the season by making your home feel warm and cozy during the showing. With a little creative thinking such as the scent of a fresh pumpkin in the oven you can entice buyers to sit back and want to stay for a while.
