The best time is any time of the year. Yes, certain times of the year are busier but usually during those times the inventory of homes for sale is greater. As any real estate agent can tell you, they have sold homes when it is -30 degrees with 2 feet of snow on the ground and they have sold homes on a beautiful sunny day with flowers blooming in the yard.
One of my favorite times of year to show and sell homes is during the holidays. We all tend to get a bit more organized because of entertaining and decorating our homes. I will admit I have shown a few homes that a bit of restraint could have been used but even so, it was fun to see. I have yet to have a buyer complain. They recognize the sellers joy in the season.
Seeing a home decorated for the holidays gives the buyer an opportunity to see it in all its glory. Exterior lights welcome them in and additional lighting inside makes it glow.
If you do need to sell your home during the holidays, be patient. With parties and visiting family and friends it can be a challenge showing your home. Have options open for places to go during the showings. Catch up on last minute shopping, take visitors on a tour of holiday lights, stop somewhere for a treat, go to a movie. Lots of options. More than anything focus on the goal, selling your home.
So, if you need to sell your home during the holidays, think positive. All that extra cleaning and decorating you do for the season can now do double duty.
