You might think that the holidays are the worst possible time to try to sell a house. But that’s not always the case! Selling during the holidays can have a lot of benefits. 

Historically speaking, the best time to list is right after the holidays - about January 17th - when buyers who NEED to buy are looking. Since most sellers wait until the Spring, inventory is a lot lower meaning a higher chance of multiple offers, which is a good thing for you. 

But here are a few pro's of listing during (or right after) the holidays. 

 You’ll face much lower competition from other sellers because they think there are not many buyers out there.
 Eager buyers will happily make offers on your place because there’s lower competition and they’re trying to buy themselves a very fancy Christmas present.
 More time for showings. People have more flexible schedules during the holiday season so it’s easier to host showings.
 A less-busy agent. Your agent should always make you feel like a priority, but since they’ll have fewer clients you’ll get the real VIP treatment. So what do you think? Ready to sell your house?
