13 Reasons to List During the Holidays in November and December

• 1.      There is less competition for buyers.
• 2.      Winter prospects are more serious buyers.
• 3.      Your home looks better during the holidays.
• 4.      One of the highest percentages if "the listing sold" to
  "listing
  taken" occurs during this time of year.
• 5.      Expanded Home Buyer Tax Credit, for First-Time Home Buyers
  and
  Existing Home Buyers (specified criteria applies as defined by law).
• 6.      You may receive more money for your home now because you have
  less
  competition.
• 7.      Throughout the holiday season, you may restrict showings
  during your
  personal family events.
• 8.      Buyers have more time to look at homes during the holidays,
  especially during vacations.
• 9.      January is traditionally the biggest transfer month and you
  must be
  on the market to capture that market.
• 10.  By selling now you can have a delayed closing or extended
  occupancy
  until the beginning of the following year if you want it.
• 11.  When you sell during the winter you have an opportunity to buy
  during
  the spring, when many homes are on the market.
• 12.  You may have fewer actual showings, but more qualified and
  motivated
  prospects.
• 13.  Corporate transfers, who need to buy a home now, can't wait
  until
  spring.
