How to sell your home effectively during the holiday season

It may come as a surprise to you, people are still buying houses during the holidays. I know, you’re thinking, “How can someone fit in house shopping with all the chaos of the holidays?” But, I assure you, many people are. If you’re looking to sell this holiday season, here are some tips to help you get it sold.

(1) Get a good Realtor

This may seem trite, coming from a real estate agent, but it’s true. Everyone, including your realtor, wants to spend time with the family during the holidays. So, you need to make sure that you have a reputable one. The last thing you want is to have a realtor that just disappears for large swaths of time – especially times that buyers want to look. When you’re looking for a realtor, make sure that you get recommendations, and talk to the realtor about holiday availability

(2) Decorate

Decorating your house is always a good idea for the holidays. People are looking to buy a home, and the decorations can really put your home’s best for forward. However, you probably don’t want to look like the crazy guy who goes all out. It’s likely to intimidate buyers. Instead, do a bit of decorating, but keep it simply, classy, and homey. Curb appeal is all important in real estate, so don’t make your home intimidating.

(3) Price it right

It doesn’t matter whether you’re selling during the holidays or during the spring, the price matters. Maybe eventually you can get your sell at the price you set, but it’s not always worth it. Sitting on a house that won’t sell can be frustrating. Pricing it to sell is your best choice for a happy holiday. Trying to sell your house is always stressful, and the holidays bring their own stress. So, if you want to stay sane, just price it to sell.
