Friday Morning Coffee – Selling your Oshawa Home? Why your chances increase in December.
Selling your Oshawa Home? Why your chances increase in December
- Most December and early January buyers are particularly serious and very likely facing some sort of deadline.
- January is the biggest transfer month of the year and job transferee’s use the holidays to house hunt.
- Most sellers wait until spring or summer to list their home. This means that during the winter months your property will have far less competition versus any other time of the year.
- Homes show well when decorated for the holidays creating a sense of family and people are much more emotionally drawn to the house, emotion sells.
- Many people take vacation around the holidays allowing more time to look for a home.
- Remodelling, decorating, appliance installation and other services are more available and at less of a premium.
- Lenders aren’t as busy and can process mortgage loans faster.
