Should I wait until after the holidays to list my house? No ..here’s some reasons why..
1. Buyers tend to be more serious during the holiday season. Many seeking tax advantage before end of year.
2. Less competition. Many sellers wait until 1st of new year.
3. Homes usually present better and are more welcoming to buyers because of Holiday decorating, cooking, etc.
4. Interest rates low …. may rise after first of January 5. Competition increases after January 1st. Many sellers erroneously believe they need to wait until the new year to sell. Inventory of homes increase 6. You get a marketing head start. Buyers and agents become familiar about your home early, before the new year.
