Should I List My Home During the Holidays?

Many people ask us if they should keep their home listed during the Holidays?  Life would be much easier if you just waited until the first of the year, right?   Although we understand the increased demand and stress that it puts on the owner, we think there are several good reasons to sell your Lake of the Ozarks Home during the Holiday Season.  Here are a few things you should consider when making your decision:

  • If a buyer is looking during the Holiday, they are typically a SERIOUS buyer.
  • Many people take their homes off the market during the Holidays, so there is less competition.
  • Nicely decorated homes will show better during the Holidays.
  • Normally, buyers will have more free time during the Holidays to view your home.
  • Many times buyers are more emotional during the Holidays - this could help you get your listing cost (or at least closer).
  • Sometimes, the buyer is motivated to buy before the end of the year for tax purposes.
  • You can restrict your showings on days that you will actually be celebrating the Holiday.
We realize, despite these advantages, you may still be hesitant to sell your Lake of the Ozarks Home during the holidays. We understand that holidays can be very busy, but with the advantages that we have shared with you, we think it's worth considering.

Whatever you decide, the Team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate would be glad to help you sell your home, during the holiday or any other time of year.   We offer the strongest team of Realtors in the Lake of the Ozarks region.  This means you will experience service that is second-to-none, whether you are purchasing a new home, second home, investment property or selling your home.  Our Team of real estate professionals has your interest at heart and strives to establish long-term relationships with our clients.

5 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid

Image
Buying a home is a very exciting event, but it unfortunately comes with its fair share of pitfalls. Inexperienced home buyers may fall victim to common mistakes that can create added stress and frustration down the road. If you're getting ready to buy your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks , the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate can help you avoid these pitfalls. Mistake #1: Not Getting Preapproved It's very common for first time home buyers to want to jump straight into touring different homes, before talking to a mortgage lender. When they do this, though, home buyers can get their hearts set on a certain property before they know for sure if they will be able to afford it. Do yourself (and your agent) a favor by getting preapproved for a home loan first so you will only visit homes you know you will be able to realistically consider buying. Mistake #2: Spending Beyond Your Means There can be a big difference between the size of loan you can qualify for and
