Five Good Reasons To Sell During The Holidays

Contrary to popular belief, La Jolla UTC buyers shop for homes all year round, and that includes the holiday season. In fact, if you put your home on the market during the holiday season (roughly between November and January) you may have an advantage because there are fewer houses on the local real estate market so there is less competition. With that in mind, here are five good reason to consider putting your La Jolla UTC home on the market during the holidays:

1. Home buyers looking for La Jolla UTC homes during the holidays are usually highly motivated to buy before the end of the year so they can get extra itemized income-tax deductions for mortgage loan fees, interest and pro-rated property taxes.

2. Because less savvy home sellers might postpone until Spring to sell their La Jolla UTC home, this creates a limited supply of homes on the market and gives you the opportunity to receive higher purchase offers than we might normally expect in La Jolla UTC.

3. Festive holiday lights and decorations can help your La Jolla UTC home “show better”. When home-buyers first enter your home you want to create a positive emotional experience and with a festive atmosphere you create warm feelings and attachments for the buyer, positively reinforcing their connection to your home.
4. Many home buyers have extra time off during the holiday season giving them more time to look for their new La Jolla UTC home.

5. Because January is traditionally the month for job transfers, having a home already on the market at the end of the year can attract the transferees who may not be able to wait until the Spring to purchase a La Jolla UTC home.
