10 Tips to Sell Your Home During the Holidays

Don't think you can't sell your home during the holdiays! Opportunities are there.

  1. Don’t take it off the market. Relocation buyers, investors and move-up buyers are looking this time of year.
  2. Make it easy to get in your home. There are fewer buyers this time of year but the ones who are out are serious. Make it easy to access your home.
  3. Keep the lights on. This time of year it gets dark early so it is very important to have interior lights on so your home is inviting even in the late afternoon.
  4. Price it right. If you are not willing to price it for today’s market then don’t waste your time.
  5. Make those nagging repairs. Many home repair people are slow now and would be more than happy to accommodate!
  6. Make your home smell inviting. Cinnamon sticks in the crock pot, scented candles and plug-ins will help promote good feelings.
  7. Everyone buys emotionally whether they admit it or not so having seasonal decorations really brings out the best in buyers.
  8. Hold open houses. Yes, buyers have extra time on their hands and will stop at open houses. People are in a buying mood.
  9. Use Facebook to promote your home to everyone you know.
  10. Hide all valuables and presents in a safe place.
