Are you unsure about listing your house during the holidays? Many homeowners think that it's a bad time to list, but truly it's quite the opposite, especially during the shifting market that we're experiencing right now. Here are three reasons why you shouldn't wait to sell:
1. Listing inventory has decreased. We're currently in a downward trend, as we have 22,000 homes for sale. Sellers have a window of opportunity during the holidays when many people pull their homes off the market. During this time, you have a significant advantage as a seller because there’s less competition.
2. The median home price has decreased by $55,000 since May. You want to stay ahead in a shifting market to keep the equity that you've built up, so don’t wait.
3. There will be more competition in January and February. Every year, we have a spike of new listings at the beginning of the year because the homeowners who took their properties off the market during the holidays then put them back on. That flood of new listings means more competition and lower offer prices.
