Why should you list your home right before the holidays here in Utah?
Most people think that they should wait until spring to list their home, but this is a mistake. In Utah, our housing inventory levels will fall by as much 30% starting right now. As we know, supply and demand drive prices. Listing now means you will be competing with far fewer homes.
The other factor most people forget about is that the buyers in Utah from November through February are by far the most motivated buyers you will see all year. If you think about it for a moment, it makes perfect sense: it’s cold, dark, and snowy, and they’re still out there hunting desperately for a house. These are buyers that are ready and willing to write offers.

The third thing to remember is that many relocation buyers hit the market in December, which means they have to be moved into their new place come January. So, again, we get this great crop of motivated buyers that only come out during this time of year.
As an added bonus, your home will probably look better during the holidays than it will all year. If you don’t like the idea of having to work around all your family plans, you don’t have to. All you have to do is let your Realtor know what dates and times you want blocked out, and they won’t let anyone show the home at those times.
If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I hope you have a great day, and I look forward to hearing from you!
