I’m often asked…. “Eddie, with the holidays quickly approaching, should I wait until January to put my Hoboken condo on the market?”

The short answer is Maybe…     

To help answer the question properly, I typically assess your goals and timing. I then perform a “Real Estate Timing Analysis” and a “Financial Risk Analysis”. Both of these are important tools we use to help identify what may be best for you. Better yet, they can often help save you a lot of money.

On a purely strategic aspect, here are my thoughts on why not waiting may be a good decision for you:

1. While there may be fewer buyers out there, people who look for a home during the holidays are serious… they are ready to buy!

2. There are fewer homes for buyers to look at during the holidays, which means less competition for you… less competition equals more money!

3. After the holidays the supply of listings increases substantially, which lowers the demand for your home… more competition equals less money!

4. Your home shows better when decorated for the holidays!

5. Many buyers have more time to look for property during the holidays (as opposed to a normal work week).

6. We will restrict the showings on your home to the times you want it shown. You remain in control.

7. You can sell now for more money and not have to physically move until January or February…as opposed to just starting the whole process at that time.

I hope this helps shed some light on the subject. I’m always around to discuss your individual needs!
