The Advantages Of Selling Your Home During The Holiday Season.

 If your like many homeowners you think selling your home in the spring is the ideal time to capture buyers. In a way your right most buyers began there search in the spring. One reason may be because of tax time. Using there tax return for down payment or closing cost associated with the home purchase can be a great way to secure the home. Another reason may be due to the kids being out of school for spring break and the upcoming summer vacation. 

       Did you ever think that the reason some buyers began there search in the spring is because there are limited homes to choose from during the fall and winter season. Many sellers have followed suit and listed there home in the spring because that is what everyone else does. They may never stop to think about the benefits that are presented when you think outside the box. 

                 Here are a few good reasons that selling in the off season may be beneficial. 

 Many buyers relocate for job offers. They may have a limited amount of time to find a home, close on the home and settle in before they began working for the new company. These buyers are wonderful for a seller to work with because they are motivated. They need to find a home and settle in quickly.

     You have less competition during the off season months. This is a huge advantage for the savvy seller because it means you may be able to secure a higher purchase price.

 Most buyers began there home search online. If your home is on market and what their looking for their going to call there agent to make an appointment to view it. In today's market buyers understand the phrase (if you snooze you loose!)

What home doesn't look great decorated for the holiday season. Most buyers are in good cheer during the holiday season. The aroma of vanilla and cinnamon bring a warm fuzzy feeling that can be enhanced as soon as they turn on your block and see your home illuminating with holiday lights. Makes them feel as if Santa made a special stop just for them. 

 The fall and winter season is also a great time to turn up the heat, blaze up the fireplace & walk barefoot across those heated floors. Show off those features that make your home spectacular which can't be showcased in the summer months.

Lending institutions may also slow down a bit during the off season meaning you get to the closing table faster. 

Selling your home sooner can also help you and your family transition and free you up to by your next home. All the money you save by selling the home sooner can be put toward your next purchase. You may only have to pay for an additional 3 months of mortgage payments instead of 6 months. For example 900 x 3 =2700  / 900 x 6 = 5400. Which would you rather?  The additional money paid could have been put toward your closing cost. If you wait you would still have to pay your mortgage while you occupy the home and whatever closing cost or additional fees have to be paid during the sell. 

  Remember the early bird gets the worm. Standout from the crowd and beat the competition!
