Charleston Military Families: Great Reasons to Sell Your Home during the Holidays



Charleston Military Families: Great Reasons to Sell Your Home during the Holidays
Some may think that listing a house during the holidays is a bad idea, but some Military families in Charleston need to purchase by January 1……so waiting may put you at a disadvantage. Here are some great reasons why you should list your home for sale during the holidays:
  1. Military families in Charleston who look for a home during the holidays are serious buyers.
  2. Military families in Charleston have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays and less competition means more money for you!
  3. Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be less demand for your home… Less demand means less money for you!
  4. Houses show better when decorated for the holidays.
  5. Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons.
  6. January is traditionally the month for military employees/employees of Charleston AFB to begin new jobs. Since transferees cannot wait until spring to buy, you must be on the market now to capture that market.
  7. You can sell now for more money and still ask for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year.
  8. By selling now, you may have an opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring, when many more houses are on the market for less money! This will allow you to sell high and buy low.
Don’t delay! List your home with Military Homes of Charleston today!
