Selling Your Home During The Holidays?
8 REASONS WHY LISTING YOUR HOME NOW MAKES SENSE!
Many people assume that listing your home during the holiday season isn’t worth the effort. We disagree! Here are 8 reasons why savvy Florida sellers list their homes NOW.
- The number one reason: Buyers who look at homes now are motivated and serious about buying. Typically people would prefer to be busy with holiday preparation and celebrations.
- You have more opportunity and higher quality traffic for your home now. (Less motivated sellers wait until the New Year to list their homes.)
- You may receive multiple offers and a better price and terms because of less competition from other sellers.
- Buyers can more readily envision themselves living in your home when it’s tastefully decorated and delicious aromas are emanating from the kitchen.
- Homestead Exemption means lower property taxes. Buyers reap tax benefits if they close and occupy their primary homes by December 31.st
- The warmth of the season may encourage buyers to pay your asking price since buyers are often influenced by holiday emotion.
- Transferees are already scouting homes online to look at with their families during the holiday vacation. January is typically when employees move for new jobs – and you want to be on their radar now.
- You always control the showing times – even during the holidays. This way you can enjoy family celebrations and still be on the market.
