Believing the holiday season to be an off-peak time to sell comes from outdated historical trends. Several studies show that, on average, homes listed during this time are more likely to sell, sell more quickly, and sell closer to the asking price according to a recent article in Forbes.
November, in particular, has some unique advantages that make it an ideal time to sell. And you’re in luck, we have two new listings that have come available in the past week.

Need more motivation?
Buyers who are looking for a home in November have either waited through the busy season in hopes of a better deal, or they’re facing their own time constraints due to work changes or other reasons. For these highly motivated buyers, the traditional barriers to winter house-hunting — bad weather, short days, holiday preparations — don’t apply.
We work through the misconceptions about selling during winter, it’s especially true this year that serious buyers have fewer homes to choose from over the holidays. That means less competition — and more buyers checking out your even more desirable home, either online or in person.
We’re here for you throughout the holidays and New Year to make sure you are ready to go, whether you are buying or selling.
