Around this time each year, many homeowners decide to wait until after the holidays to list their houses. Others who already have their homes on the market remove their listings until the spring. Let's consider reasons why listing your house now or keeping it on the market this winter may be a good choice.
 
Here are seven great reasons not to wait:
 
1) Relocation buyers are out there now. Many companies are still hiring throughout the holidays, and they need their new employees to start as soon as possible.
 
2) Purchasers who are looking for homes during the holidays are serious buyers and are ready to buy now.
 
3) You can restrict the showings on your home to days and times that are most convenient for you. You will remain in control.
 
4) Homes show better when decorated for the holidays.
 
5) There is minimal competition for you as a seller right now. Over the last few months of the year the supply of homes for sale decrease.
 
6) The desire to own a home doesn't stop during the holidays.
Buyers who were unable to find their dream homes during the busy spring and summer months are still searching, and your home may be the answer.
 
7) Late fall and early winter make up the "sweet spot" for sellers. The supply of listings typically increases substantially after the holidays including new construction in early spring.
 
If you are considering putting your home on the market during the holiday season, reach out to one of our Montague Miller & Co real estate professionals to determine if selling now is your best move.
