Selling your Tahoe Keys home during the holidays can seem like such a hassle, what with having to entertain, decorate and keep your house showing ready at all times. It can feel a bit overwhelming, truthfully.  However, having your house on the market during the holidays can be of great benefit to a Lake Tahoe seller, and this is why!

There is less competition

So many homeowners take their homes off the market during this time of year because they don’t want to deal with the hassle. In the real estate industry you hear a lot of people say they will put their home back on the market after the first of the year or in the spring. This is great for the homes that will stay on the market through the holiday season as there is less competition. A reduction in inventory means more buyers eyes on your home. Making sure your Tahoe Keys home is priced to sell will help your chances of moving the property quickly.

Buyers that are motivated

If a buyer is taking time out of their busy holiday season to look at Tahoe Keys real estate, chances are they are pretty serious about buying as soon as possible. Whether for job relocation, tax purposes or they simply want to enjoy Lake Tahoe in the comfort of their own home when they visit, take these holiday buyers seriously and be flexible with showing times and contract negotiations. Turning off a motivated buyer when you need to sell could be costly.

The house looks great!

During the holidays, homes are decorated creating a cheery and cozy atmosphere. Since emotions play a big role in which homes appeal to a buyer, creating the holiday spirit could be your best decision. After all, if a potential buyer can picture their family celebrating the holidays in your home, chances are your house just got bumped to the top of the list. Freshly baked cookies also don’t hurt the cause.
