Does It Make Sense To Sell During the Holidays?

By John Wesley Walker II

We love serving our clients and making their goals possible! Our goal with every transaction is to build a relationship to make sure that our clients wants and needs are met. We pride ourselves on communication and quick action. Don't settle on average marketing and advertising when it comes to selling your property. Don't settle for an average agent that only sells 3-4 homes a year. You deserve an agent that knows the market and how to get the best results. Our team will do everything we can to exceed your expectations!

Around the holidays, we get this question all the time: Should you sell your house during the winter months or wait until springtime? While there’s no definitive right or wrong answer, there’s a lot you need to consider. 

When thinking about a holiday sale, consider the impact of curb appeal and the nostalgic ambiance associated with this time of year. Homes can create a warm and fuzzy feeling during the holidays, which might resonate with your potential buyers. Plus, selling during the holidays tends to attract more serious buyers since people looking at homes this time of year usually need to move ASAP.

Another advantage of a holiday sale is the reduced competition. Many homeowners wait until spring to list their properties; so you can stand out in a less crowded market. If you wait until spring, there will be more buyers, and your home will have a chance to look its best in the better weather. However, there will be more sellers also listing their homes, so you’ll need to work extra hard to stick out. 

At the end of the day, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. It depends on your unique situation and preferences. Consider these factors and weigh them against your family’s needs. If you have any questions or need guidance, feel free to call at (318) 794-6769. I look forward to hearing from you!
