TOP 12 Reasons to SELL YOUR HOME during THE HOLIDAYS posted by Melanie Bailey

1.       January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until spring to buy, you need to be on the market during the Holidays to capture that market!

2.       Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons!

3.       Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than they do during a working week!

4.       Buyers are more emotional during the Holidays, so they are more likely to pay your price! 

5.       5.  Houses show better when decorated for the Holidays!

6.       6.  Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your particular home! Less demand means less money for you!

7.       7.  Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays and less competition means more money for you!

8.       8.  People who look for homes during the Holidays are more serious buyers!

9.       By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer in early spring, when many more houses are on the market for less money! This will allow you to sell high and buy low!

10.   You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year!

11.   Even though your house will be on the market, you still have the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days around the Holidays!

12.   Appraisers look at comparable homes for the past 3-6 months - your winter sales price will be compared to late summer (higher priced) home sales.  Spring sales are compared to late winter (lower priced) home sales.

TOP 12 Reasons to BUY A HOME during THE HOLIDAYS posted by Melanie Bailey

1.       Uncertainty regarding loan programs and limits that may not be available in 2009 or after we have a new President in the White House.

2.       Because there are fewer buyers shopping for a home at this time, you may be in a stronger negotiating position.

3.       With fewer buyers on the market during the holidays, there may be less multiple offer situations, especially regarding REO properties and Short Sales.

4.       The transaction load is lighter for lenders at this time, so your file may be handled quicker, more efficiently, and more accurately.  This is true also for Title and Escrow.

5.       It’s nice to get a feel for a home when it’s decorated for the holidays.

6.       You may have more vacation or free time instead of having to ask off work to look at homes or complete paperwork, signings, etc.

7.       You can show your visiting friends and family your prospective new home.

8.       With fewer buyers on the market at this time, it may be easier to schedule inspections, etc., allowing you to shorten a contingency period in exchange for a more favorable price or lock in an interest rate on your loan.

9.       You’ll be enjoying your new home in the spring as opposed to waiting to move in.

10.   January is typically the best time of the year to buy decorating items or home improvement items, as the retail industry doesn’t want a huge slump after the boom in holiday shopping.

11.   If you have kids, they can transfer to their new school at the start of the new semester and avoid “getting behind”.

12.   What could be a better gift for the family than a NEW HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
