Every year, I hear the same question. The holidays are here, is it a good time to list my house, or should I wait until the spring? Should we take our house off of the market during the holidays? My answer is always the same – the best time to sell your house is when you are ready. Never ever try to time the real estate market or the stock market!
1- Inventory (the number of homes for sale) is still at historic lows in the Winston-Salem area. Your house WILL stand out!
2- Family and friends visit for the holidays! With so many people working remotely, and many more wanting a second home near family (especially grandchildren) the holidays are a perfect time to introduce your home to the visiting family members!
3- Interest rates– you keep hearing that they are going up, right? Well they haven’t. And, did you know that the jumbo loan amount has increased? Call your LOCAL lender to discuss your buying power!
4- Buyers have already picked out a spot for their menorah or Christmas tree. It’s true, buyers who are looking now want to start new traditions in their new home! Capitalize on their vision…
5- Sure, traditionally there are fewer buyers in the fall, but there are also fewer homes for sale. Don’t get lost in the chaos of the spring market, sell now! Considering selling? Let’s talk about why now is the right time!
Cheers to the holiday season! Tori
