With the colder temperatures and many people heading south on vacation, it may seem like an inopportune moment to list your house, but that couldn\u2019t be farther from the truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although it\u2019s true that there are fewer buyers looking for a home at this time of year, the pros far outweigh the cons. There are less\u2014yet far more serious\u2014buyers searching for homes in your market, there is less competition with less homes on the market and transactions happen far more quickly as there are less being processed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA smaller pool of buyers during the fall and winter months will benefit the seller who dreads dropping everything to make the house presentable and get the kids and pets out the door for showings,\u201d Lou Nimkoff, President of the Orlando Regional REALTOR Association, tells Housecall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are the top three reasons why you should sell now rather than wait until after the holidays :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Staging Is Simple During the Holidays<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s true that now is one of the few times of the year that you can get by with minimal staging. Many agents will recommend some light \u201cseasonal\u201d staging during December, which really just means go ahead and put up decorations, just don\u2019t go crazy with it. Homebuyers who shop during the off season are typically very serious about getting into a house. They\u2019re unlikely to waste their time viewing homes that don\u2019t already suit their criteria and will be able to look past your child\u2019s messy playroom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Everything Happens More Quickly<\/strong><br \/>\nIt makes sense that with far less transactions being processed in December, yours will happen far more quickly than if you waited until after the holidays. With less transactions being processed that means that home inspectors have less inspections to do, mortgage lenders have less loans to process and attorneys have less closings to handle. This all translates to a quicker closing and less stress for you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Less Competition<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough buyers have less competition, the fact that there are far less homes listed in your area around this time of year may be your biggest advantage. Many homebuyers fall in love with a particular town or neighborhood and with less inventory in those areas, your home has a much better chance of being sold. After the holidays end, more and more For Sale signs will appear in your area and, with more comparable houses nearby, the chances of your home being viewed by the perfect buyer can go down dramatically.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sellers naturally lean away from listing their home on the market during these bitter months, but with the information listed above, hopefully you\u2019ll think twice before waiting until the spring to list. However, this is ultimately your decision and you should choose when the perfect time is for you to list your home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.rismedia.com\/2018\/wait-holidays-sell-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Should I Wait Until After the Holidays to Sell My Home?<\/a> by Jameson Doris | RISMedia housecall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holidays are fast approaching and if you\u2019re considering selling your home, now is the perfect time to reassess your strategy for getting your property sold.
