When most people think about the real estate market, they picture the busy spring and summer rush, but here's the truth: the holiday season can actually be one of the most strategic — and successful — times to sell your home.
While the pace of the market may slow as people shift into holiday mode, serious buyers don't disappear. In fact, this time of year often brings unique advantages that sellers can use to their benefit. In November alone, MCKRE listed THREE separate properties that all received multiple offers:
- 5005 Holly Lane, Morehead City | $1,999,900 — This waterfront lot was listed on November 3rd and received multiple offers within four days on the market.
- 195 Drum Inlet, Morehead City | $399,900 — A soundside condo within Brandywine Bay was listed on November 8th and received multiple offers within five days on the market.
- 213 Larkin Street, Morehead City | $399,900 — This 1970's mid-century home in Mitchell Village was listed on November 11th and received multiple offers within one week on the market.
Even as the market slows seasonally, correct pricing becomes more important than ever.
It's also important to note that the market will determine the ideal price. For sellers — if you find your listing is going stagnant, a smart price adjustment can breathe new life into your listing and attract renewed interest from buyers who may have previously passed it by. For buyers — take notice when properties adjust their price and act quickly if it's something you have been waiting for, someone else may scoop it up!
