House wrapped in red holiday bow

At this time of year, homeowners contemplating a move face a pivotal decision: to sell now or defer until after the holidays? Some individuals, particularly those with homes already listed, might even opt to withdraw their listings until the dawn of the new year.

However, it's imperative to recognize that numerous prospective buyers actively seek to purchase a home during the holiday season, and your property might precisely meet their criteria. As noted in an article from Fortune Builders:

"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 underscore this point, here are four compelling reasons why delaying the sale of your house might not be in your best interest.

  1. The desire to own a home persists throughout the holidays. While some buyers may defer their relocation plans until January, others may need to move promptly due to life changes. Buyers in this season are often motivated and committed to making their move, as highlighted in a recent Investopedia article:

             "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."

  1. Despite a recent modest increase in the supply of homes for sale, overall inventory remains lower than pre-pandemic levels. This situation can work to your advantage if you collaborate with AgentOwned Realty to set a market-value price, potentially leading to a swift sale. Today's buyers are hungry for more options, and your property may be precisely what they are seeking.

  2. Selling during the holidays allows you to dictate the days and times convenient for home showings, minimizing disruptions to your schedule, especially during this busy time of the year. Additionally, buyers may exhibit more flexibility in touring houses during the holiday season due to extended time off from work.

  3. Lastly, homes adorned with holiday decorations appeal to many buyers, fostering an envisioning of festive gatherings and the creation of cherished memories. An article on selling during this season offers this advice:

          "If you’re selling around a holiday and have decorations up, make sure they accent—not overpower—a                     room. Less is more."

In Conclusion, there are compelling reasons to consider putting your house on the market during the holiday season. Consult with your local real estate experts at AgentOwned Realty to determine if now is the opportune time for you to make a sale.
