‘Tis the Season

to LIST Your HOME

THE REAL ESTATE WEEKLY WWW.C-VILLE.COM

K

atelyn Mancini loves Christmas.

“It’s my favorite holiday and I look forward to the smells, the sights, the shopping, and being with family. All year long.”

And all those traditional ways of celebrating.

‘Tis the season of twinkling lights in the trees and a pine wreath on the door.

Candles in the windows and a menorah on the mantlepiece. The smell of rugelach or pie in the oven. Presents ‘neath the tree and the whole house is ready for a celebration.

If that all seems too idealized and cliché, let’s add one more platitude to the list - the holidays are a terrible time to sell your home.

Mancini says “Don’t believe it.”

She should know. Mancini is a REALTOR® with Howard Hanna Roy Wheeler Realty Co., and she has had her share of holiday closings over the years.

The winter holidays, from Thanksgiving to after ringing in the New Year, can

BY CARLA HUCKABEE

be the very best time of year for home sellers. And they’re getting better every year.

Less Competition Savvy sellers are eager to take advantage of what life deals to them. And sometimes that involves an end-of-year move.

Dan Corbin, REALTOR® with RE/MAX Realty Specialists, says, “If that happens, don’t worry. It’s never a wrong time to be in the market. And if circumstances call for it, whether as a buyer or a seller, a winter-time move can be advantageous.”

Homeowners may think there aren’t any buyers and may be tempted to forestall the hassles of putting their home on the market until after the holidays.

“Don’t,” says REALTOR® Lori Click, also with RE/MAX Realty Specialists. “It’s the best time for a seller. You have low supply and high demand. And with fewer houses for a buyer to choose from, it can mean even more money for the sellers.”

In fact, in an already low inventory environment, Virginia REALTORS® reported that the for-sale inventory across Virginia fell by nearly 25% from

December 2020 to December 2021. While the inventory numbers from the third quarter of 2022 are showing a bit of a bounce-back, the competition a seller will face remains low this holiday season.

Another barrier hampering buyers during the super-hot real estate market of last year was just how busy mortgage lenders were. REALTOR® Clareen Eberly, with Find Homes Realty, LLC, reports that lending has slowed down a bit, and buyers may be able to find a better deal than an off-the-shelf standard mortgage.

Ultimately, this should clear the path to a smoother, quicker closing.

And that translates into more success for the seller. So embrace the challenge of less competition, and see it as the gift it is.

Serious Buyers with Time to Look Moves happen year-round, for sellers and for buyers. Life changes, households shift, and new opportunities arise, not only in the late spring and summer.

Sometimes the holiday moves are more time sensitive than at other times of the

year, making for eager buyers.

Whether staring down a deadline or trying to take advantage of market foibles, a holiday home buyer is more likely to be one that follows through with an actual offer.

“People who look at homes during the holidays tend to be more serious,” says Click. “If they are taking time out of their holidays to look at homes, they usually mean it.”

Many buyers will take advantage of extra time off at the end of the year to find their new home. Workers take extended holiday breaks. The kids are home from school. The end of the year becomes the perfect time to explore a new destination, whether that’s a new state, a new town, or just around the corner.

That extra time allows potential home buyers to fit all the homebuying steps into a normally too-busy life.

Mancini sees this frequently. “If buyers are moving to a new town, the whole family can go and look at their top choice together. If the move is local, perhaps mom is in town to be that second opin-

ion or reinforce a warm and fuzzy feeling you get from a certain house.”

Another common scenario in the Charlottesville region is having parents from afar who want to move closer to their adult kids. The holidays are a perfect time for parents to do double duty, mixing a family visit with an excursion to explore what’s available for them on the market.

Sellers shouldn’t worry too much about people invading their homes at inopportune times. A walkthrough is the last step before making an offer. The bulk of the home viewing takes place online with buyers viewing pictures and videos of the home and learning about the neighborhood.

If the home hasn’t passed muster through that screening process, the potential buyer won’t bother with a walkthrough. And if a buyer does request a walkthrough, the seller should be pleased because that’s typically the last step before they make an offer.

can influence a buyer, as long as they aren’t overwhelming.”

Owners who have land for sale, with or without a home on it, can also take advantage of the holidays to sell. Corbin says, “Winter is a great time of year to look at land and see the product. You can more clearly see the lay of the land and some areas might be more accessible during winter.”

Even for a Christmas lover like Mancini, a skillfully decorated and staged home may not be enough to clinch the deal if the finances aren’t right or the house has problems beyond the potential buyer’s comfort level.

other time of year. Make sure the exterior of the home is in tip-top shape.

Pay particular attention to gutters and water flow on the property so that water flows away, and ice doesn’t accumulate.

The drip-drip-drip from a misaligned gutter can be a red flag to buyers.

Details like having trash and recycling containers put away and a fresh floor mat set a good first impression.

With the sun setting before five o’clock, there is a good chance that a walkthrough will happen at dusk or dark. Make sure the exterior of the home and entryway are well-lit. Nothing spells doom and gloom like a dark, depressing walk from the drive to the front door.

love with your house over the holidays but the price point and the monthly mortgage payment are just a little too high, there are ways to bring it into their reach. Sometimes by using unique loans with a rate buy-down, a skilled mortgage advisor and REALTOR® team may be able to close the gap.

“A listing agent can team up with a local lender and include figures for the current buy-down rates in the MLS alongside the listing. This can help buyers realize the home may not be out of their price range and they really can afford to give themselves the gift of a home this year.”

Sellers need not fear that listing a

home over the holidays means all of the hassles of a holiday move. There will likely be at least thirty days between going under contract and closing. So it may be that closing will fall after the first of January anyway. “If not,” says Mancini, “a seller can always negotiate the closing date and can add in rent backs, if necessary.

“A good agent will be able to structure the deal in your best interest.

“I had a closing on December 23 and it ended up being a great Christmas for both the buyer and the seller. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that the process was over, the uncertainty was behind them, and they could all truly enjoy the holidays secure in the future they had just created.

“What better way is there to celebrate the holiday season?”

Dressed Up for the Holidays For those buyers that do make it to the final step, make sure to take advantage of the winter wow factor.

Homes are all dressed up for the holidays and tend to put on their best airs.

The pre-holiday cleaning can do double duty as the pre-showing cleaning. Owners trade out daily clutter for decorations.

And with a home staging in mind, the decorations can send a “make this your home for the holidays” message to potential buyers.

“Sellers should take full advantage of the season to make the sale,” says Mancini. “Pull out all the stops, but that doesn’t mean going overboard with decorations. Simple, warm, and inviting win the day. You want to make sure the buyer can see themselves in your home enjoying the holidays.”

That starts with the online presence.

There are different strategies.

One alternative is to have the photos taken before decorating so the buyer can experience the home both ways, without decorations online and all dressed up for the walkthrough.

If you expect a quick sale and start your prep work early on, you may want pictures of your house decorated. Mancini says, “Holiday decorations make for great photo ops. And if the online listing shows decorations and it is still December, a buyer will assume it hasn’t been on the market for very long.

“And don’t forget the oldest trick there is, having the smells from the kitchen trigger memories of home and family. Cookies, hot tea, mulled cider, oranges, potpourri. These subtle touches

Even over the holidays, when listing a home, it needs to be in the best shape possible and listed at an attractive price to the buyer.

Winter brings on special challenges as the home may look stark without blooming flowers, bushes, and trees.

Greenery and holiday lights can perk up spent landscaping.

If you do have an attractive high-quality photograph of the home in the spring or summer with more lush landscaping, include that online or in a packet at the house for in-person buyers.

Decorations can catch the eye and emotion, but they don’t overcome any deficits the home has. Start at the curb.

With potentially bare shrubs and trees, any peeling paint or damage to the exterior may be more evident than at any

Sticker Shock This holiday season buyers are dealing with both higher prices and higher interest rates than they are accustomed to seeing. It can be tempting for a buyer to take a wait-and-see attitude. A seller needs to be sensitive to that reality and list her home at the right price.

That doesn’t mean slashing the price.

It means working with an agent to price it right based on comparable sales.

But the listing price is only one part of the equation.

“Many buyers purchasing with loans, have been forced to look at a lower price point or have paused their search entirely,” says Eberly. “If a buyer falls in
