DO WE LIST DURING THE HOLIDAYS, WAIT UNTIL THE NEW YEAR, OR HOLD OFF UNTIL SPRING?
Real estate sales during the holidays and winter season have seen an upswing in recent years. Research indicates this trend is due to holiday gatherings offering families the opportunity to discuss future needs without the interference of hectic work and daily schedules. And, of course, as we all know the New Year offers the feeling of a fresh start! The Advantage of Listing Before the Holidays Research also reveals that online home searches have risen dramatically. Take advantage of this increased exposure by ensuring your home is professionally marketed with great photos and a detailed description. Worried about selling over the holidays? Remember that most people searching are in the "looking phase" and you can control the final closing date, but be ready to sell your home in early 2018. The Advantage of Listing in Early 2018 If the holiday season is too busy to prepare your home for sale, look to list it in the first few months of the year
to capitalize on re-energized home buyers, those who decided to move during the holidays, and buyers who need to relocate in the New Year.

Worried about Missing the Spring Market? No one can predict the future, though if you wait until everyone else lists their home in the spring, your home may not see the exposure you are expecting, as more homes will come on the market.

Even with these new trends, the holiday and winter season inventory is still generally lower and therefore, your home will actually receive more exposure to serious buyers, which can lead to a quicker sale and higher price.
