Today we want to dispel a few myths about listing your home during the holidays. A lot of people think it's a pain to get involved in the market at this time of year or they think buyers aren't looking, but that might not be entirely correct.

Buyers who are shopping for homes during the holiday season during the cold winter months are serious buyers. They aren't out on a Saturday afternoon, in December, because the weather is nice and warm. While you may not have as many showings during the winter season, the showings you do have will be with serious buyers who want to buy a home.

We have a ton of buyers out there looking for homes. With lower inventory, those buyers are waiting for the perfect home, and your home could be it.

You could potentially get a higher price for your home in this market because we are still seeing bidding wars on the best properties. Most of these buyers are desperate to buy before the end of the year and you could see a 1-2% profit now that you won't be seeing in the spring.

One other thing to note is that homes typically show better during the holidays. We encourage you to decorate your home for holiday showings because buyers are more emotional during the holidays, and are more likely to make a quick decision.
If you have any questions at all about real estate, don't hesitate to give us a call, text, or email. We'd love to hear from you!
