The holiday season may not seem like the most ideal time to sell a home. After all, many people hunker down in place during the winter months, are too occupied with the holidays to think about preparing their homes for sale, or want to avoid the hassle of moving during the cold season. And with the coronavirus pandemic still affecting many aspects of our lives, this holiday season is going to be a strange one. If you had planned to sell your home by the end of 2020, you might be tempted to put those plans on hold until next year. However, our real estate agents have closely examined the current housing market conditions and believe home sales may be up this holiday season compared to years past.
Demand is Strong – When states started shutting down in March, home buying and selling went dormant for a while. But since lockdown restrictions were loosened up, buyers made a strong comeback to the housing market. In fact, the summer saw record-breaking home sales when compared to last year. Traditionally, there are few real estate transactions in fall and winter than in the spring and summer. But this year looks solidly up, and the number of home sales during the holidays is expected to stay high compared with other years.
