10 Reasons the Holidays are a GOOD Time to Sell Your Anchorage Home

Okay so you need to sell your home and maybe you've been on the market for awhile.  The Anchorage real estate market during the Holidays is perfect timing for you...if your price is correct, condition is given.  It really goes back to the simple supply and demand and smart buying habits.  People should buy low and sell high but they usually wait until there is a big crowd gathered.  Listing during the Holidays is counter intuitive and most people take there Anchorage homes off the market...bad idea. Bottom line you need to move and timing is very important.

1. Supply & Demand (Competition) The majority of folks will think this is a bad time to sell a home so they will take their Anchorage homes off the market or wait to put them on the market….this means you will have much less competition!


2. Anchorage Holiday house hunters are typically serious home buyers; they aren’t going to be looking during the holiday season unless they really want/need to buy.

3. Your Anchorage home will likely feel very homey during this season (as long as you don’t go Clark Griswald on the neighborhood).

4. Many of your Anchorage neighbors will be having family and friends over for parties and such…if they love the neighborhood and see your for sale sign…you might just get some interested buyers. One of my most active Holidays is Thanksgiving and I will never take off on this holiday. I am thankful.

5. Let’s not kid…your house will smell amazing with all the pumpkin pies, sugar cookies, and breads you will be making.

6. Lots of people get Christmas bonuses and some will likely plan to use theirs as a down payment…get those folks interested now, while they have the money!

7. You don’t have to worry about any yard maintenance or up keep because your yard is likely dead, your leaves are already raked and flowers won’t be blooming for a while. Snow covers a great deal and your perfect yard looks the same as the neighbors.

8. You can always ask Santa for a ready, willing and able Anchorage buyer.

9. People are generally happy during the holiday season; happy people make happy Anchorage home buyers.

10. Showing may actually be easier than you think if you are planning on spending any time away visiting others during the holidays…your home becomes a “go and show” when you are out of town and is always show ready.
