So, your home continues to sit on the market or you don't want to sell during the holidays!

If your property has been sitting on the market for months, most buyers and their agents will see it as stale or overpriced and disregard it or think something may be wrong with the home! Remember, your home has competition, which is other similar homes that are on the market. So don’t fall into the trap of thinking your home is the only home in its class on the market.

In this situation, now is the time to take action and selling during the holidays can be a prime opportunity to shift course. Yet, you may state that you don’t want to move over the holidays and you don’t have to; you can delay the closing based on the buyer’s timeline! 

Making a “realistic” price reduction or correcting something that may hinder the sale may be just the best thing to do this time of year. If you had low offers early on but you didn’t accept them, or you keep hearing that there are issues with the way your property shows, this could be your chance to show the market you’re listening and serious about selling; motivated buyers will notice and perhaps take a serious look at your home! Remember, the key is to attract serious buyers and if they make an offer, negotiate with them-keep your emotions in check!
