The holiday season is rapidly approaching! A lot of people have been asking us lately if the holidays really are a good time to list your home for sale on the market. We say absolutely yes! In fact, I have 11 reasons why the holidays are a great time to sell; today I'll give you the first three:

1. People who look over the holidays are serious buyers 

Many of them have to purchase before the end of the year for tax purposes and many companies relocate their employees in the 4th quarter of the year.

2. Serious buyers have few homes to choose from

Many sellers are waiting until the spring to re-list or even list their home. In other words, you have less competition now and buyers have fewer homes to choose from. That translates to more money in your pocket.

3. You can restrict showings on the market 

You can still have your home on the market during the holiday season, while also restricting showings for a period of time. This will allow you to focus on your family during the holidays, instead of on your home sale. Once the holidays are over, you can start showing your home again and still reap the benefits of the market at this time of year.
