The Holidays: Once-a-Year Opportunity for Selling a Home DiNoto Reatly Group

I’m always
a little surprised that more people don’t take advantage of the holiday season
to sell their home. The spring selling season may be the most popular, but
there are a host of reasons why, for a home that is already market-ready, you
might think twice about waiting to list it.
Among the
leading reasons that make this an especially advantageous time of year to sell
a home is the financial motivation for some prospective buyers. Especially when
an individual’s financial picture changes toward year’s end, a few prospective
buyers find that the tax advantages of a purchase in the current year are
reason enough to speed a sudden purchase. Classical supply and demand forces
add another reason the decision to sell a home in now could be a good one.
Since Rancho Cucamonga listing volumes taper off toward the end of the year,
the choices are relatively few, increasing the value of each to motivated
buyers.
Experience
tells us that the average holiday-season buyer does tend to be more
highly motivated, if for no other reason than that they are choosing to house hunt
over all the other activities the season calls for. In short, this is not the
season for lookyloos. There is also the advantage that holiday decorations add.
The emotional appeal of a well done (not overdone!) display can augment
home’s underlying curb appeal. Add to that the fact that all of us tend
to be a bit more emotional during the holidays, and it wouldn’t be surprising
to find buyers more flexible in what they are willing to bid. As every merchant
has come to realize, the holidays are shopping days.
For
those who will be traveling for the holidays, rather than that being a reason
to put off listing, those days can be ideal times to sell your Rancho Cucamonga
home. The house will be unoccupied, clean and available for showings at any
time of day—the perfect situation for turning the otherwise slow holiday season
into a standout to those buyers who need a home now.
I will be
working throughout, so give me a call if selling your house is an idea that
makes good sense. The more available you make your home during the holidays,
the more likely you’ll find a buyer during this hectic time of year.
We look forward to connecting with you soon!
