​10 Reasons to List Your Home This Holiday Season

Around this time each year, many Sellers’ decide to wait until after the holidays to list their homes.  Similarly, Sellers that have their homes listed on the market withdraw their listings until the spring. Let’s take a look at the top reasons why listing your home now or keeping it on the market during winter may be the best decision you can make.
​
Here are 10 great reasons NOT to wait:

1. Buyers/Sellers want to buy or sell before year end for tax purposes.
2. Decorated homes show better during the holidays.
3. Serious Buyers are looking for homes during the holidays and are ready to buy.
4. You dictate the dates and times of your showings so that it's convenient for you. 
5. Buyers have more time to shop during the holidays and are in the buying spirit.
6. Buyers that are relocating are in the market to buy now. Many companies hire throughout the holidays, and need employees to start ASAP.
7. Millennials represent the largest cohort of home buyers and shop year round.  
8. The desire to own a home doesn’t slow down during the holidays. Buyers that haven't found their dream home during the busy spring and summer months are still searching, and your home may be the answer.
9. Late fall and early winter make up the “sweet spot” for Sellers. The number of homes for sale increases substantially after the holidays. Also, new construction will continue to surge and reach new heights in 2020, which may impact the demand for your house next year.
10. Less competition for you as a Seller right now. Over the past few months we’ve seen the supply of homes for sale decreasing year-over-year, as shown in the interactive graph below:
