Sell Your Home

Reasons to List Your Home in the Winter Months

• Fewer Showings ~ Yes there are fewer buyers, but those buyers that are left are usually very serious about making a purchase.  You may have fewer showings but great prospects!
• Less Competition ~ Most people wait until spring and summer to list their home, which means during the winter you will have far less competition than any other time of the year.
• Homes Show Better During the Holiday ~ Buyers love homes that can tell a story.  The holidays are a great time to show homes because the home is usually dressed up for the holiday season.
• January is the Biggest Transfer Month ~ Did you know that more corporate moves happen during January than any other time of the year?  This may be a great reason to list you home during the holiday season!
• Timing ~ By putting the home on the market during the winter you may be able to more easily hit your moving goals.
• More Time to Get Top Dollar ~ By starting to market your home early you may be able to secure a higher price.
• Great Time to Shop ~ If your home sells quickly you will be able to shop for your next home during the winter.  This is a great time to find a bargain.
• More Advertising ~ Because most agents and offices have less inventory during the winter, your home may be advertised more often than during the spring and summer months!
• More Attention ~ Most agents will be able to devote more specialized attention to your needs during the winter because they have less clients to manage.
• The Market ~ Today’s interest rates are at forty-year lows.  This gives buyers more spending power, and will be even more important when you begin shopping for your next home.
• Tax Benefits ~ By selling now you can have a closing after the first of the year for tax purposes.
• Loan Commitment ~ During the winter months you may be able to obtain a loan commitment quicker.
• More Time ~ You may be able to look at homes during the holiday especially during vacations.
• Highest Percentage ~ We usually have the highest percentage of listings sold to listings taken during this time of the year
