Chic vs. Geek: Holiday Listings

With Thanksgiving this week and Hanukkah starting Sunday night, we’ve got a few tips for listing your home during the holidays!

CHIC (PEARL)

The first thing holiday sellers should know is that winter buyers aren’t messing around. They are ready to buy and will make offers based on need rather than want. For example, someone moving due to a job transfer or other professional opportunity will be more motivated to secure a new home right away.

GEEK (KEVIN)

Don’t forget about end-of-year tax breaks! Buyers can deduct the mortgage interest, property taxes, and interest costs of their home loan if the sale closes on or before December 31. Bottom line: If you have someone interested in your home during the holidays, it's a good idea to take them seriously.
