The Eight Great Reasons to Sell Your CT Home During the Holiday Season

If you have been wanting to sell your home, but  felt that the holiday season is just the wrong time to begin the process, think again.

You may already know, or have heard that timing is everything, and it truly is. The Eight Great reasons to  put your home on the market amidst the holiday hoopla are:

1.  Did you know than over TEN percent of annual sales occur during the holiday season?
 
2. There is much less inventory for buyers to choose from, and that means less competition for you, and maybe even a higher price.

3. The buyers that are out and looking are quite serious and need or want to buy, otherwise they would probably be at the mall shopping for gifts.
 
4. If you decorate your home for the holidays, it will show beautifully. Everybody loves decorations. If you don't normally decorate, that's fine, too.

5. Very few homes will have added curb appeal due to fall and winter conditions. No lawn is beautifully green and no trees are lush. It's a level playing field as far as that's concerned. There is next to no maintenance of the yard as well, making it that much easier, and at some point, snow will cover it anyway.

6. The aromas from pies, cookies and the like create quite a pleasant atmosphere  for buyers looking at your home.

7. If there are times when showing your home is inconvenient, you can always defer the showing to another time. (just as you can throughout the year)

8. Have you thought about additional exposure from your neighbors holiday get togethers? Their friends and family may just be chomping at the bit to live on your street, and lo and behold- A house is for sale there- YOURS, and it could be the reason it sells.
