Miriam has been writing about Real Estate in ARUBA,
since the year 2004 on this lovely sunny island. Working at the Century 21
Aruba office for over 8 years, Miriam can assist you with anything related to
buying/ selling/ investing in Aruba.
The Tip: Thanks to reduced competition,
motivated buyers and a nicely decorated holiday home, you can sell your home
faster during the holiday season.
We all know that spring and summer are the best times to sell a home. And
it’s true that many buyers do plan their new home purchases during the warmer
months. But that doesn’t mean all
the serious buyers evaporate after Thanksgiving. Remember that in Aruba it is
always summer so each month is a good month to sell/ buy property.
If your home is for sale now, you’re actually in a great position
to sell your home faster by taking advantage of the unique characteristics
of the holiday selling season.
1. Less Competition
You’re not the only homeowner who’s considered taking your home off the
market during the holidays—most don’t want the hassle. And most new sellers
will decide to wait until the first of the year or even springtime to put their
homes up for sale.
That’s great news for you because you won’t have to compete with dozens of
other homes just like yours to get buyers’ attention. Reduced inventory
means more buyers checking out your home, either online or in person. Keep
their attention by making sure your home is priced to sell and that your home
is in “show” condition at all times.
2. Motivated Buyers
Anyone who takes time out of their busy holiday schedule to shop for a new
home is serious about buying now. Perhaps they are buying a home for tax
reasons or are relocating to Aruba to start a new job in the new year. Maybe
they’ve been looking for months and just haven’t found that perfect home yet.
Whatever their reason, make it
easy for these clients to get a good look at your home by staying flexible with
your showing times and be open to negotiating contract terms that
work with their schedules.
3. Your Home
Looks Great
Emotion plays a huge role in which home a buyer
purchases, and you can capitalize on that by making your home cozy and cheery during
showings. Tasteful decorations and a minimum of clutter will allow buyers to
see their own families celebrating the holidays in your home next year.
Make sure your decorations enhance rather than detract from your home’s
best features, and remember to remove them as soon as the season is over.
Get Your Home Sold With the
Advice of a Pro
Experienced real estate agents know that home sales remain steady into the
holidays, so if you’re looking for professional advice, work with an agent who understands the advantages of selling a home
now. Contact Miriam at email address: miriam@arubahouses.com
