Most home sales happen in the spring or the fall. However, recently selling during the winter months has had some great advantages. Here’s why!
Less competition
Even pre-pandemic, there were generally fewer homes on the market during the winter. Now, with the inventory shortage, there are even less, which means your home can receive more attention from buyers if it is priced well and marketed well. This makes it even more likely that you’ll be able to sell for the price you want.
Motivated buyers
Buyers who are looking to make a move to a new home during the winter months are typically motivated. They’re not looking around to see what’s available; they’re prepared to make a move immediately. Make sure you’re ready to move as quickly as they are.
Company bonuses
Around this time of year, many companies gave out yearly bonuses for Christmas. Employees who were counting on this could budget it into their new home purchase, meaning they have more to spend.
Flexible schedules
Many people use their vacation days around this time. This means it can be easier to schedule showings with prospective buyers, since they’ll likely have more availability.
