There are some important reasons to list your home during the holidays.

1. People looking for homes during the holidays are much more serious, for obvious reasons. More than likely, they have to buy a home, which is why they're out during the holidays.
2. Less competition. These serious buyers have fewer homes to choose from on the market, which means less competition for you.
3. The supply of homes will increase dramatically after the new year begins, so there will be less demand for your home. Less demand means less money for you when you eventually sell.
4. Houses show better when they're decorated for the holidays.

5. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays than other times of the year.
6. Some people are forced to buy before the end of the year. This could be for job relocation.
7. January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transfer employees can't wait until the spring, you have to be on the market now to capture this market.
8. You can still be on the market but restrict showings during the six or seven holiday celebration days. We'll still coordinate showings to make things convenient for you, your family, and your guests.
9. You can sell now for more money and we can delay the closing of escrow until after the holidays.
10. By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring when many more houses are on the market.
