Well, it’s that time of year and we receive the same question from a lot of people about whether or not to sell now.  The answer is yes and here the top 10 reasons why:

1. Inventory levels go down every year around the holidays because not everyone “needs” to sell so there is less competition.
2. People will usually decorate their homes for the holidays putting them in a nicely staged condition and it can help attract buyers.
3. We don’t know who the competition will be after the holidays.
4. We don’t know how many properties will be for sale in the spring.
5. We know where the competition is priced today and we don’t know where they will be priced at later or if the prices will be deeply discounted.
6. The buyers looking this time of the year are typically not tire kickers – they are real buyers.
7. We see houses that are priced right, are in the right condition and are staged properly are attracting multiple offers recently.
8. Interest rates are fantastic – near record lows make now an attractive time to buy.
9. We are seeing many buyers in the market today and we don’t know if they will be around after the New Year.
10. If you are looking to buy – only serious sellers are on the market, who need to sell, so strike while the iron is hot!
