1. People who look for a home during the holidays are more serious buyers.
2. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays, and less competition means more money for you.
3. Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home. Less demand means more money for you.
4. Houses show better when decorated for the holidays.
5. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price.
6. Interest rates typically trend down during the fall and winter seasons.
7. You can still be on the market, but you have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days during the holidays.
8. You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year.
9. By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring, when many more houses are on the market for less money. This will allow you to sell high and buy low.
10. Most people think alike; therefore a high percentage of sellers will be taking their homes off the market until spring. History shows that a large number of homes will still sell in October through January. Now is the time to be on the market!
