4. One of the highest percentages of “listing sold” to “listings taken” occurs during this time of the year
5. You may receive more money for you home now because you have less competition
6. Throughout the holiday season you may restrict showings during your personal family events
7. Buyers have more time to look at homes during the holidays — especially during vacations.
8. January is traditionally the biggest month for corporate transfers — and you must be on the market to capture those buyers.
9. By selling now, you can have a delayed closing or extended occupancy until the beginning of the following year if you want it.
