ARE THERE ANY ADVANTAGES TO LISTING YOUR HOME DURING OHIO'S WINTER WEATHER?

Reasons to List Your Home During the Holidays

Fewer Showings ~ Yes there are fewer buyers, but those buyers that are left are usually very serious about making a purchase. You may have fewer showings but great prospects!

Less Competition ~ Most people wait until spring and summer to list their home, which means during the winter you will have far less competition than any other time of the year.

Homes Show Better During the Holiday ~ Buyers love homes that can tell a story. The holidays are a great time to show homes because the home is usually dressed up for the holiday season.

January is the Biggest Transfer Month ~ Did you know that more corporate moves happen during January than any other time of the year? This may be a great reason to list you home during the holiday season!

Timing ~ By putting the home on the market during the winter you may be able to more easily hit your moving goals.

More Time to Get Top Dollar ~ By starting to market your home early you may be able to secure a higher price.

Great Time to Shop ~ If your home sells quickly you will be able to shop for your next home during the winter. This is a great time to find a bargain.

More Advertising ~ Because most agents and offices have less inventory during the winter, your home may be advertised more often than during the spring and summer months!

More Attention ~ Most agents will be able to devote more specialized attention to your needs during the winter because they have less clients to manage.

The Market ~ Today’s interest rates are at forty-year lows. This gives buyers more spending power, and will be even more important when you begin shopping for your next home.

Tax Benefits ~ By selling now you can have a closing after the first of the year for tax purposes.

Loan Commitment ~ During the winter months you may be able to obtain a loan commitment quicker.

More Time ~ You may be able to look at homes during the holiday especially during vacations.

Highest Percentage ~ We usually have the highest percentage of listings sold to listings taken during this time of the year
