Reasons To Sell Your House Before 2024

by The Graham Team

Get a Head Start on the Competition

So, picture this: it's the end of the year, and most folks are caught up in the holiday hustle and bustle. That usually means fewer homeowners are thinking about selling their houses. People tend to put selling on hold until after all the festivities and parties are over, usually in January. But here's the kicker – you can use this to your advantage.

By selling your house now, while others are still sipping on eggnog and putting up decorations, you'll get ahead of the game. Reach out to a real estate agent today and start the process. You'll have your house on the market before your neighbors even get started.

Catch the Attention of Eager Buyers

Sure, there are homes for sale out there, but the supply is still pretty low. And here's the deal – even though some potential buyers might postpone their plans until January, others can't afford to wait. Life happens, and they have to move, no matter the season.
These motivated buyers will still be active toward the end of the year, and they'll be determined to find their new place. But there's a catch – there won't be as many homes available to meet their needs. That's where you come in.

A recent article from Investopedia says:

“. . . if your house is up for sale in the winter and someone is looking at it, chances are that person is serious and ready to buy. Anyone shopping for a new home between Thanksgiving and New Year’s is likely going to be a serious buyer. Putting your home on the market at this time of year and attracting a serious buyer can often result in a quicker sale.”

Tap into Your Home Equity for Your Next Adventure

Hold onto your hat – homeowners today have loads of equity. According to CoreLogic, the average homeowner has nearly $290,000 in equity. That's a pretty sweet deal because this equity can potentially cover some or all of your down payment for your dream home.
As you mull over the idea of selling before the year wraps up, don't forget why you wanted to move in the first place. Maybe it's time for a new spot that suits your lifestyle better, one that's perfect for you and your loved ones, or perhaps your needs have changed over time. A local real estate agent can help you figure out how much equity you've got and how to use it to make your move happen.So, in a nutshell, listing your home before the New Year can bring some awesome perks your way – less competition, eager buyers, and the chance to tap into your equity. Let's chat and make your goals happen before winter takes over!
