Is Your House the Top Thing on a Buyer’s Wish List this Holiday Season?
As we enter this time of the year, homeowners contemplating a move are faced with a pivotal decision: sell now or wait until after the holidays? Some may even consider temporarily removing their listings until the new year.
Yet, the reality is that many buyers are actively seeking homes for the holidays, and your property might be exactly what they’re looking for. An article from Fortune Builders wisely states:
“ . . . while a majority of people take a step back from the real estate market during the holiday months, you may find when the temperature drops, your potential for a great real estate deal starts to rise.”
To reinforce this insight, here are three compelling reasons you shouldn’t delay, especially when partnering with Lori from NC High Country Real Estate, an esteemed expert in the area:
A Buyer’s Wish List, Continuous Desire for Homeownership:
The desire to own a home doesn’t wane during the holidays. While some buyers may choose to delay their moving plans until January, others are compelled to move promptly due to life changes. Those actively seeking homes during this time are typically motivated and eager to buy. According to Investopedia:
“Anyone shopping for a new home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is likely going to be a serious buyer. Putting your home on the market at this time of year and attracting a serious buyer can often result in a quicker sale.”
Limited Inventory, Maximum Potential:
Despite a recent slight increase in the supply of homes for sale, overall inventory remains lower than pre-pandemic levels. By collaborating with Lori and pricing your house at market value, it could still sell swiftly. Today’s buyers crave more options, and your home may be precisely what they’re searching for.
Convenient Showings, Minimized Disruptions:
Working with Lori allows you to determine convenient days and times for home showings, minimizing disruptions to your schedule during this busy time of the year. Buyers may also exhibit increased flexibility in touring houses during the holidays, thanks to additional time off from work.
Holiday Charm Sells:
Homes adorned for the holidays appeal to many buyers, allowing them to envision creating their own cherished memories in the space. Following advice from an article on selling during this time:
“If you’re selling around a holiday and have decorations up, make sure they accent—not overpower—a room. Less is more.”
