Selling in the
FESTIVE SEASON
REAL ESTATE
Wade & Michelle

Selling your home over the Christmas
period in the past has been seen as
something not to do. However, the way
real estate is conducted, and the way
consumers buy homes, has shifted
dramatically in recent years. There
are a lot of significant reasons today to
have your home listed for sale during
the holiday season. Here are some of
those reasons.
With the dramatic increase of home
buyers relocating to Cairns from
southern states over the last few years,
the holidays are a convenient time for
these buyers to travel to look at homes.
Though it’s a busy time of year, most
people have more time up their sleeve
to look at properties they’ve had an eye
on. As workloads and commitments
slow down, motivated buyers have
much more time to search through
properties that appeal and get out to
see them.
There are fewer homes for buyers
to look at during the holidays which
means less competition for you… less
competition equals more money. After
the holidays, the supply of listings
increase substantially which lowers
the demand for your home…more
competition equals less money.
Take advantage of the Christmas
cheer that many potential buyers
will be feeling. Without work, your
target market will be feeling much
more relaxed, as well as open to
new possibilities, making the overall
process easier for everyone.
The rental market gets noisy this time
of the year. Leases are up, and people
are working out their next step – a
new place to rent, or for many, time
to finally buy. Catch them while they’re
in transit.
If you are travelling over the Christmas
period don’t stress. Your Real Estate
Agent can handle everything while you
are away. Not only will your home be
vacant and clean, it will also get a nice
check-in a few times while you’re gone.
The selling period is certainly not
slowing down heading into Christmas.
