10 REASONS TO LIST YOUR HOME DURING THE WINTER

 

 

1.     FEWER SHOWINGS - Yes, there are less buyers, but those buyers that are left are usually very serious about making a purchase.

 

2.     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 at any other time of the year.

 

3.     JANUARY IS THE BIGGEST TRANSFER MONTH - Did you know that more corporate moves happen during January than at any other time of the year?  This may be a great reason to list your home during the winter.

 

4.     TIMING - By putting your home on the market during the winter, you may be able to more easily hit your moving goals!

 

5.     MORE TIME TO GET TOP DOLLAR - By starting to market your home early, you may be able to secure a higher price.

 

6.     MORE ADVERTISING - Because most agent and offices have less inventory during the winter, your home may be advertised more often than during the spring and summer months.

 

7.     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.

 

8.     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!

 

9.     GREAT TIME TO SHOP - If your home sells quickly, you will also be able to take advantage of finding your home during the winter.

 

10.            HOMES SHOW BETTER DURING THE HOLIDAY MONTHS - Buyers love homes that can tell a story.  The holiday months are a great time to show homes because the homes are usually dressed up for holiday celebrations.
