Should You List Your Home Over The Holidays?
By Rick Hoffman, managing broker of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage's Georgetown office
Are you wondering whether to offer your property for sale now or wait until after the New Year? This is a question that Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s real estate professionals are asked frequently this time of year.
Having a property on the market during the busy holiday season can be difficult for some home sellers. Those with young children, an extremely demanding holiday schedule, or visiting family members may feel anxious about keeping their home sparkling clean and available for frequent showings.

However, marketing your home during this time offers great opportunities. Fewer homes on the market during the holidays means less competition, providing a great chance to showcase your property. Plus, seasonal holiday decorations can serve to make your home look more festive and inviting.
