12 Reasons to Buy/Sell your home During the Holidays

1. The people who look for a home during the holidays are serious buyers
2. Serious buyers have less competition regarding multiple offers or counter offers.
3. Since buyers have less competition, the demand for your home goes up during the holidays.
4. Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your home.
5. Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays.
6. Interest rates are still low.
7. Buyers have more time to look at homes during the Holidays than they do during the work week.
8. Some people MUST buy before the end of the year for tax reasons.
9. January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until Spring to buy, you must be on the market now to capture that demand.
10. You can still have your home listed, but you have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days during the Holidays.
11. By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring.
12. Faster closings! Historically, faster closings are possible in November and December because of fewer overall transactions in the market.
