Make Your House the Top Choice on Every Buyer’s Wishlist This Season
The holiday season is here, and for homeowners planning to sell, the big question is whether to list their home now or wait until spring. While waiting might seem like a logical choice (no pun intended), this time of year could actually be the perfect time to sell. Here’s why the holidays can help your house become a top pick for buyers.
1. Serious Buyers Are Still Actively Looking
The holidays often bring out the motivated buyers. They’re not casual lookers, they’re people with a specific timeline, often wanting to close on a home before or very near to the new year. This heightened motivation can lead to quicker sales, making it a win-win for both you and the buyer. It’s a safe bet that anyone shopping for a new home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is likely going to be a serious buyer.
2. Low Inventory Equals High Opportunity
While the market may seem slower during the holidays, it can actually work in your favor. Fewer homes on the market means less competition. Redfin notes: “There is typically less inventory in the housing market this time of year, allowing your home to easily stand out. . . .” If your house is well priced and well presented, it can attract serious attention from buyers eager to secure their dream home.
3. You Can Control the Selling Process
One of the best parts about selling during the holidays is flexibility. You set the schedule for showings, ensuring your time with family and friends isn’t disrupted. Buyers are often accommodating too, as many have extra time off and are eager to make progress on their home search.
4. Holiday Décor Adds Charm
Tasteful holiday decorations can highlight your home’s warmth and create an inviting atmosphere that buyers love. From twinkling lights to a pretty tree, small touches can help potential buyers envision themselves celebrating in the space. Just remember, less is more. Over the top decorations can distract from your home’s features, while simple, elegant touches enhance its appeal.

The holiday season might be the perfect time to sell your house.
