Busy during the Holidays, Why You do not Take Your Home off of the Market!

For years we have heard clients say that they want to have their homes off of the market during the holiday period. Their thought is that during the November-January period the market stops. The Wells Team has seen differently.

We had activity! Matter of fact we showed houses New Years Day!

Our activity came from our signs, 800 verbal tours, Internet, and coop agents. In other words our all around marketing works!

If you want to be aggressive you cannot take your home off of the market during the traditional holiday period! Decorate your house, it shows better! Have your family get togethers! Enjoy the season!

As we head into January we will have clients who say: "I want to wait until spring to list my house". Why? Right now there are half the listings in my neighborhood as compared to last spring. Less competition! There is also a new president coming into office, lower interest rates, and a potential economic plan that might motivate more people to buy the home that they want.

The Wells Team is trying to emphasize this point: This is not a traditional market! The traditional wisdom of when to have your house listed is outdated!

Remember:If you do not have it listed then you know what your odds are selling it are going to be!

We serve the north Atlanta metro market to the North Georgia Mountains! Let us know how we can help you!
