Ahhh...we just sent these same words of wisdom to our sphere...fewer homes on the market...all decorated and ready to sell....wait till spring..oh not ....celebrate the season with listings...agents....sellers....and oh yes...Buyers...they are gorgeous !
10 Reasons Why The Holiday Season Is A Great Time To Sell. Below is a list of reasons why now is the time to list.... Don't wait until spring.
*Sellers are dropping out of the market for holidays, less competition
*Buyers who are looking in the winter tend to be more serious buyers.
*Singles, couples, and empty nesters tend to wait while school is in session to buy, less competition for them.
*Interest rates are at an all time low
*Buyer scan buy more house right now.
*February and March produce the highest amount of homes sales, but November and December and January don't have as many homes for sale so there is a higher ration of homes sold to those for sale.
*The holiday spirit can help sell your home, you decorate for your guests, but buyers will find your home more charming while it is decorated for the season.
*Most homes are never cleaner and never smell better, or are better decorated than during the holiday season.
*If you don't want to move during the holidays you can negotiate possession for your own convenience.
*Sellers can usually negotiate their best deals during the holiday season.
Sellers who take their homes off the market or postpone selling them during the holidays won't save any money; they will simply postpone their own dreams and perhaps find more competition when they decide to enter the market again.
Are you ready to postpone your dreams or are you ready to move ahead and live your future now?

Thanks for the post Kim...great information.
As soon as you hear the buyers choosing where THEIR Christmas tree goes...how they decorate....you know they are serious about calling this house their home...
Sally and David, I can remember showing homes on Thanksgiving Day when I did residential real estate a while back.
A new house in super condition at a great price with low interest...now there is something to be thankful for !
