Many sellers are unaware that the holiday season is one of the best times of year to sell a home. Today we’re going to prove it by giving you the top 9 reasons to list your home during the holidays. They are:


  1. The buyers out there are more serious than your typical looky-loo.
  2. These serious buyers have fewer options, meaning less competition for your home.
  3. The supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, and demand will go down.
  4. Homes show better when decorated for the holidays.
  5. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays and more likely to pay your price.
  6. Buyers have more time during the holidays to look for homes.
  7. Some people need to buy before January 1 for tax reasons.
  8. January is when most employee transfers happen. Those looking for homes can’t wait until spring to buy, so if your home is on the market now you can capture those buyers.
  9. You can still be on the market during the holidays while restricting showings during family events.



There you have it, nine great reasons to sell this holiday season. If you’re interested in putting your home on the market, or if you have any other questions, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
