Should you sell your home during the holidays? This is a question I often get asked around this time of year, and you might be surprised by the advantages!
Hi, I’m Terry Tucker with eXp Realty and I love helping people sell and buy homes right here in the East Bay!
Let’s start with the advantages!
First, are serious buyers. Buyers looking during the holidays are often on a strict timeline meaning they may need to close quickly due to a job change, family obligations, or even for potential tax benefits. Many of these buyers aim to be settled in a new home by the New Year.
Then, there is less competition. Historically, inventory is low during the holiday season, meaning fewer homes are on the market. Many homeowners prefer to wait until after the New Year or early Spring, reducing competition for those who decide to list now.
And, finally we cannot leave out the festive appeal of your home during this season. Homes often feel warm and inviting when decorated for the holidays. This cozy atmosphere can help buyers envision themselves in the space, adding an emotional appeal to your property.
Now, let’s consider some potential drawbacks, especially the holiday hustle and bustle. The holidays are busy enough as it is, and adding home showings to your schedule can increase stress. If managing buyers alongside holiday events feels overwhelming, waiting until after the New Year might be a better choice.
