Top Reasons to Sell Home in Winter

Is it a waste of time? Will it sit on the market and become stale? Should I take my house off the market for the holidays? Will the market be better for sellers in 2012? These are all great questions, but what you first need to ask yourself is if you are emotionally prepared to sell your home. We all know the pressures of selling a home in this market. The next thing to consider is the overall condition of your home. Is it ready for the market? The most salable homes are those that are move-in ready. Some sellers feel that if they've waited this long to sell, they should put the process on hold until spring and get the house ready in the meantime. Certainly, it's not a good idea to put your house on the market until it looks great. But if you and your house are ready to sell, get it listed. And since most sellers don't put their homes on the market during the last or first couple of months of the year, the inventory of homes for sale tends to dwindle during the winter months. Interest rates are low. So, if there are buyers in your local market, you may be at an advantage selling when most sellers are waiting. The market in general tends to slow down over the holidays. But rather than pull your house off the market and miss a likely prospect, change the showing procedure to require advance notice. And enjoy your holidays. A sale before the end of the year could be a great holiday gift!
