Selling in December can give you a head start and save you money on taxes for the next year.

Are you planning to sell your home during the holidays? As we approach the holidays, many people ask the same question. It’s a valid concern, especially when the real estate market seems quieter during the end-of-year months. The truth is that there’s never a bad time to sell your home, and December could actually be the perfect time to list.

Here’s what you should know about selling during the holidays:

The market slows down, but not for long. Yes, it's true that sales do slow down this time of year. Fewer people are moving, and you might think that means it's not the right time to sell. But here’s the thing: with fewer people moving, you also have less competition. Less competition means your home could stand out more to buyers.

“There’s truly no “bad” time to sell your home”

There are always buyers looking. Even in December, when the market slows down, people are still moving. Some buyers want to get settled into their new homes before the end of the year to qualify for homestead benefits for the following year. So, even if you’re thinking about selling a couple of years down the line, there are still plenty of buyers in the market.

Why now is a great time to sell. The great news is that if the timing is right for you, now is certainly a good time to consider putting your home on the market. Even though the market may seem quieter, motivated buyers are still out there. Plus, you might find some great buying opportunities right now, especially with home builders offering fantastic incentives.

There’s truly no “bad” time to sell your home. If you’re thinking about waiting for the spring, remember that the market is still moving, and homes are still selling.
