How To Sell A Home Around The Holidays

December 3, 2021 by Kim Abbott

How To Sell A Home Around The HolidaysIt is true that the summer months are a hot time for the real estate market. Many families with children prefer to move during the summer because they do not have to pull their kids out of school. On the other hand, it is possible to sell a home during the holidays. There are fewer homes on the market, so this could drive up prices. What are a few tips homeowners should follow for selling their houses around the holidays?

Remove The Clutter

When the temperature cools off, people spend more time inside. Therefore, it is easy for houses to get cluttered. When this is combined with the rest of the holidays, it is easy for messes to build up. People looking to sell their houses during the holidays need to avoid clutter at all costs. Potential buyers want to imagine what their life is like in the house. If there is a mess everywhere, it will be difficult for buyer imaginations to run wild. 

Maximize The Curb Appeal

There is never a second chance to make a first impression, and the first impression comes from curb appeal. Even though there might be a lot of leaves on the ground, homeowners need to act quickly to remove them. Furthermore, bare trees can expose damaged parts of the house. It might be a good idea to throw a fresh coat of paint on the outside. 

Price To Sell

There is a delicate balance between pricing a house too high and pricing a house too low. Nobody wants to leave money on the table, but it is important not to scare away buyers. Homeowners who can afford to wait may want to price the house higher; however, if someone is starting a new job at the beginning of the year, the house might need to be priced lower to sell quickly. 

Select The Right Agent

Selling a home during the holidays can be a challenge, but the right real estate agent can make all the difference. It is critical to work with an agent who has experience selling a home during the holidays. That way, they can find comparable homes in the area, set the price right, and get as many showings as possible to get offers on the table.
