Today we are going to be talking about why the holiday season might be the best time of year for you to sell your home in Calgary. We’ve got 5 reasons we are going to share with you today and as you’ll see, there are some unique benefits to listing your home during this time of year. Here they are:
- Accelerated timeline. Deals get done quicker in the winter months. People who are out there looking to buy are serious about getting a deal done, and want to get one done so they can get their families moved in before Christmas.
- Less competition. Every year, many home sellers remove their homes from the market when the fall hits for a variety of reasons. Without a huge amount of homes on the market, your home stands out more to buyers. Less competition equals quicker sales, better terms, and a better price.
- Homes show better. Typically, homes that are decorated for the holidays show better during the holiday season because they are decorated to invoke feelings of coziness and family in a buyer.
- More time. Buyers generally have more time to view homes during the holiday season because their kids have a reduced schedule and they have vacation time off of work as well.
- New jobs and relocation. January is typically the month where employee transfers happen. Those people relocating here are looking heavily right now, and want to get a deal done before the end of the year and they start their new job.
These are just a few of the many reasons why selling during the holiday season is a good idea. If you have any questions, or are thinking about selling your home this winter, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We would be happy to help out however we can!
