5 Tips on Selling your Home During the Holidays

Selling your home during the holidays may not seem like the ideal time to do so, but it has its benefits. During the holidays, neighborhoods tend to be more festive, which comes across as more inviting. In fact, 78% of home buyers believe neighborhood quality is more important than home size, so having an inviting neighborhood can lead to a good sale. From serious buyers to selling quicker, there are plenty of advantages that make the holidays the right time for selling your home. Below we list 5 tips on selling your home during the holidays. 

Set the Right Price

During the holidays, buyers tend to be more serious because they are shopping for a reason. Whether they are buying a home because of work relocation or simply need the home as soon as possible, they are seriously looking at the selling price. Don’t bother cutting down the price in small increments every week; list your house at the price you realistically want. Setting the right price can motivate serious buyers to take you up on your offer a lot quicker.

Don’t Overdue the Holiday Decorations

Even though the holiday season is the perfect time for decorating, too many holiday decorations can hinder your home from being sold. Often many people celebrate different holidays or have different styles, so decorations can conflict with how they view the home. Only decorate to a minimum, and keep it simple for the best outcome.

Work With an Experienced & Reliable Realtor

An experienced realtor can help guide you through more specific selling strategies and ensure you take advantage of all the benefits of selling your home during the holidays. Additionally, the realtor can help answer any questions during the unique process or help target the right buyers. Lastly, you want to make sure that the realtor is reliable because the holidays can be stressful. I have a history of being very reliable, and I take pride in being highly rated for my communication with all of my clients.

Prioritize Curb Appeal

Harsh winter weather conditions can bring snow, leaves, and other things that could affect the appearance of the exterior of your home. Do not neglect to maintain a clean outside appearance to attract buyers. Do your best to keep everything as tidy as possible.

Emphasize Coziness

During the cold weather of the winter, people like to feel cozy and warm with fireplaces and hot chocolate. When staging your house, make sure to highlight the comfortable features. Additionally, take advantage of offering hot chocolate and cookies to potential buyers during the showing. Often, during the winter, people tend to be more emotional, meaning they can make decisions based on the feeling a house conjures up.
