Most may believe that the spring and summer months are the best times of year to sell your home. While these months definitely bring high traffic, the holiday season is a joyous time to sell as well.  Here are 3 perks that sellers experience during the holiday season.

1. More Serious Buyers

At this hectic time of year, buyers who are taking the time out and are still actively pursuing their house-hunting venture are likely to be more serious buyers. Whether it be due to relocation for a job, tax and investment reasons, or because they have already been searching for months, these buyers are very motivated to find the perfect home.

2. Less Competition

Some sellers take their home off the market during the holiday season because they don't want to deal with any disturbances. Other sellers may decide to wait until the New Year, or even spring, to list their home. Either way, this means your home faces less competition.  Keep buyers interested by pricing your home to sell and keeping your home "show-ready".

3. Peak Showing Conditions

It's undeniable - your home looks great during the holidays. Use the season to your advantage and deck the halls - but don't go overboard and make sure not to clutter your space. Set a warm and cozy setting with candles and tasteful winter items. Accentuate features in your home with garland and subtle lighting too.Showings are also easier during the holiday season. Buyers are more available to search and can view your home during weekdays. Selling during the holidays also offers sellers flexibility to restrict showings or extend closings based on your schedule. Most importantly, hire a reliable real estate agent that won't disappear during this peak selling time.
