Santa Will Be Coming Soon

With the holiday season rushing in, many home sellers are already withdrawing their homes from the market. That seems reasonable if the homeowner has small children and wants to simply embrace the joy of the season or if they have relatives coming in from out of town during this "merry time" and don't want the disruption of buyers walking through the home.

 

What surprises me is when a seller withdraws the home from the market because they have heard that no one is looking for a home during November and December.  The fact is that motivated buyers usually DO continue to look at homes during the holiday season. The buyers that stop looking during this time are the ones that are the least motivated and who really cares if those buyers come through the home anyway? The idea that a home won't sell from mid-October through December is a myth. 

 

Savvy sellers realize that although buyer traffic may slow down during the hustle-bustle of the season, a unique opportunity emerges for their home to stand out because of less competition.  

 

If you would like to discuss whether your home should be put on the market now instead of waiting until spring when everyone else is putting their home on the market, call or email me to discuss the pros and cons of when to begin the marketing of your home.  Initial consultations are always free of charge.
