If you're a homeowner, you probably think listing your home during the holidays is a bad idea. Today, we're going to put that myth to rest.
The question many people ask is: "Should I wait until after the new year to put my home on the market?" We advise our clients to list during the holidays. We've found that buyers who are out during the holidays are more motivated than buyers in the spring. While more buyers come out once the spring weather arrives, most of them are casual lookers, or tire kickers. Buyers you'll encounter over the holidays are ready to make a decision and need to make one soon.If you wait until the spring to sell, you'll have a lot more competition to deal with. If you want to put your home on the market now, you can also take advantage of the fact that your home is decorated for the holidays, which gives it a warm and inviting feel.
If you do decide to sell during this time, be sure to enhance your curb appeal. If you have a stained front door, you're going to want to sand and restain it. Another important thing you can do is change out the mulch and add greenery to your landscaping. These are low cost fixes that can make a huge difference when selling!
As always, if you have any questions or concerns about Lafayette real estate, give us a call or shoot us an email. We would love to hear from you!
