If you are thinking of selling soon, these are all good reasons why you should list your home during the holidays

10 reasons why you should list your home during the holidays

1. Most December and early January buyers are particularly serious and very likely facing some sort of deadline.
2. January is the biggest transfer month of the year and job transferee's use the holidays to house hunt.
3. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for financial and tax reasons.  Investors usually want to close by year-end for tax purposes.
4. Most sellers wait until spring or summer to list their home.  This means that during the winter months your property will have far less competition versus any other time of the year.
5. Homes show well when decorated for the holidays creating a sense of family and people are much more emotionally drawn to the house, emotion sells.
6. Many people take vacation around the holidays allowing more time to look for a home.
7. Remodeling, decorating, appliance installation and other services are more available and at less of a premium.
8. There is plenty of mortgage money available for buyers.
9. Lenders aren't as busy and can process mortgage loans faster.
10. Showings will be fewer and less intrusive, but more likely to be fruitful with motivated, qualified buyers.
