11 Reasons to List During the Holiday Season

Historically, the fourth quarter is the most productive and successful quarter of the year for sellers.

Consider listing your Red Deer home during the holidays for these eleven reasons. 

1. People who are home shopping during the holiday seasons are more serious buyers.
2. Low inventory means fewer homes on the market, which means less competition and more money for you! 
3. The listing supply increases dramatically after the holidays. You will have more competition once the holidays are over. 
4. Decorated houses show better. 
5. Buyers are more emotional this time of year. If they love your home, they’ll buy it 
6. Buyers have more time to look at houses over the holidays compared to the traditional work week.
7. Some people have to buy before the end of the year for tax purposes.
8. Transferred employees usually start in January, and they want to be in a home before their start date. 
9. You can restrict your showings so you have time with your family. 
10. If you sell now, you can select a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year. When supply goes up, you’ll have more homes to choose from and you can get a better deal on your next property. 
11. You can enter the spring market as a non contingent buyer. Sell high during the holidays, and buy low next year. It’s a win-win!
