Today we’re debunking winter real estate myths…
And what you should keep in mind if you want to buy or sell soon!
Myth 1: “No one buys or sells homes during the holidays.”Reality: While the market might be less active, there are always situations, such as job or life changes? Or just a desire for change, that lead to serious buyers or sellers, even this time of year.
Myth 2: “It’s better to wait until spring to sell.”Reality: While spring is a popular time, there might be less competition during the holidays, allowing your property to stand out to the serious buyers that are out there now.
Myth 3: “Buyers are too busy with the holidays to house hunt.”Reality: Serious buyers often use their time off during the holidays to search for homes. Additionally, corporate relocations can happen at the end of the year, bringing in potential buyers.
Myth 4: “Homes don’t show well in winter months.”Reality: Winter weather can actually help showcase a home’s coziness and highlight noteworthy features, such as fireplaces. Plus, holiday decorations can offer additional warmth and charm.
