Thinking about selling your home during the holidays?
During this time of year, I often get asked several questions from sellers about when the best time of year to sell is, what buyers are like based on that time of year, and how they should prepare their homes accordingly.
First and foremost, I have found that during the holidays, most people expect a slowdown of some kind. I will tell you, though, that buyers are extremely motivated during these times. If they’re willing to go through the extra time of looking at properties during the holidays, they’re very serious about their purchase.
Buyers typically associate with a festive home very well.
If you’re a seller, declutter and depersonalize your home like you normally would, but consider how much you want to decorate, especially if it’s something that is more personal to you. However, you still want to make the home feel like home. If it’s festive, people will associate with that extremely well. Prepare your home the best you can even if you have seasonality issues.
I have a volume of things I’d like to share with you on this topic, so if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
