Home sales have been in a slump for several months. But the lackluster volume of homes being sold isn\u2019t what most people are making of it. Of course, rising interest rates<\/a> have curtailed some home buyers\u2019 plans, but the historically low supply of homes for sale continues to drive the market.\u00a0 If you’re home selling during the holidays, consider that supply will continue to dwindle as many homes will be removed from market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does that mean if you\u2019re a motivated home seller?\nAlthough the housing market normally slows down during the holiday season, it\u2019s\nnot entirely closed. Motivated home buyers are always looking for the perfect\nhome. And with limited home seller competition, you could potentially do well\nwith your sale.  The only obstacle to\nyour sale would be severe winter weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things to consider when selling a home during the holiday season: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re selling your primary residence, consider how and\nwhen your home will be available for home buyer visits. Be proactive with your\ncommunication to your listing agent so there is no confusion about showing\ntimes. The idiom \u201cstrike while the iron is hot\u201d holds true. If you make your\nhome available to show, stick to the schedule. Buyers will get frustrated and\nturned off when their scheduled appointment is canceled at the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re selling a vacant home, it will be easy to show.\nHowever, you should plan to visit the home regularly for cleaning and\nmaintenance. Maintenance is especially important during the colder winter\nweather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your home is already on the market, maintaining a show quality home is still a must. However, if your home will be listed for sale during the holiday season, you have to take care in preparing your home<\/a> for buyer visits during colder weather. Decluttering, repairs, and staging are the main staples of home preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you ask real estate agents about holiday decorations,\nyou\u2019ll get a variety of advice. Keep in mind how home buyers will see your\nhome. If you decorate your home, keep it tasteful and uncluttered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that selling a home means having strangers traipsing through your home. Plan ahead with a showing schedule if you\u2019re having holiday celebrations and hosting family and other guests in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Selling during the Holidays is not for everyone. If the holiday season is a hectic, then adding the stress of selling your home is probably not a good idea. Consult with your real estate agent about home selling during the holidays and if it is an appropriate choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
