Are you thinking of selling your home but not sure if it's the right time of year? The holiday season may be upon us, but that doesn't mean you should put your selling plans on hold.

In fact, this may be the perfect time to achieve your Real Estate needs when it comes to listings. Why? Here's a look at the top 10 reasons to list your home during the holidays:

1. People who look for a home during the holidays might be more serious buyers.

Buyers who need to make a move during this special time of year are often motivated to move for various reasons that make buying a home more urgent.

2. Serious buyers may have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays, so you have less competition.

With inventory known to be typically lower during the holiday season, your home may not have as much competition from other listings. 

3. Houses 'show better' when decorated for the holidays.

Show ready homes allow potential buyers to better imagine their own lives in your home for sale. Having your home decorated for the holidays may be the ultimate 'show ready' occasion! 

4. Buyers might feel an emotional connection to your home during the holidays.

That warm and fuzzy feeling of the holiday season and special decor can help potential buyers create an invaluable connection to your home.

5. Buyers may have more time to look for a home during the holidays. 

For many, this time of year is a slower season, giving potential buyers more time to make Real Estate decisions and find their next perfect home. Learn more about one of the ways we make your home stand out online using our Spotlight Homes program.

6. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for tax reasons. 

Let your home be on the market for those looking to buy before the end of the year.

7. January is traditionally the month for transfers. Transferees can't wait until spring to buy - be on the market to capture that market. 

For those looking to buy in January, let your home already be on the market for when many potential buyers are planning a move.

8. You may still restrict showings during your personal or family events. Video and virtual tours are also a great option to still show your home successfully without disrupting your celebrations!

9. You can sell now, but specify a delayed closing or extended occupancy until next year if you so desire. 

Suppose you're looking to sell but not ready to move quite yet. In that case, you can take advantage of this good time to sell but choose to remain in the home until after the holidays by specifying in your transaction details.

10. By selling now, you have an opportunity to buy during the spring when more houses may be on the market. 

Typically, there are more homes for sale in the springtime than during the holiday season. Listing during the holidays allows you to take advantage of less competition when selling but having more options if you're buying after your sale - in the spring!
