Your House May Be High on the Buyer Wish List This Holiday Season | Simplifying The Market

Around this time each year, many homeowners decide to wait until after the holidays to sell their houses. Similarly, others who already have their homes on the market remove their listings until the spring. Lets unpack the top reasons why selling your house now, or keeping it on the market this season, is the best choice you can make. This year, buyers want to purchase homes for the holidays, and your house might be the perfect match.

Here are seven great reasons not to wait to sell your house this holiday season:

1. Buyers are active now. Mortgage rates are historically low, providing motivation for those who are ready to get more for their money over the life of their home loan.

2. Purchasers who look for homes during the holidays are serious ones, and theyre ready tobuy.

3. You can restrict the showings in your house to days and times that are most convenient for you, or even select virtual options. Youll remain in control, especially in todays sellers market.

4. Homes decorated for the holidays appeal to many buyers.

5. Today, theres minimal competition for you as a seller. There just arent enough houses on the market to satisfy buyer demand, meaning sellers are in the drivers seat.
