Buying a Iredell County home? Search all homes for sale
Today we are excited to bring you part 2 of our series that is answering the question of why you should sell during the holidays. This is an important question that comes up a lot this time of year, because the holidays really are a great time to sell. Here are five reasons why:
1. Employee transfers
January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees can’t wait until after they move to buy, you need to be on the market now in order for them to buy your home.
2. Homes show better during the holidays
Homes have a different look and feel during the holidays. Buyers can sense the warm, cozy feeling of the holidays rush over them, making it more likely for them to purchase.
3. You can restrict showings
Just because your home is on the market during the holidays, doesn’t mean it has to be on the market for the holidays themselves. You can restrict showings during those six or seven days around Christmas and New Year's. Buyers understand you have family commitments just like they do, as long as you have some advanced notice of which days you want to restrict showings, it will work out.
4. Become a non-contingent buyer
Selling during the fall and winter will allow you to become a non-contingent buyer in the spring, the most desirable kind of buyer any time of year.
5. Buyers are energized
This is especially a great time to sell because it's a joyful time of year. People are generally happier and more prone to making the decision to purchase just in time for the holiday season.
