Ep 121 “Should I List My House Over Labor Day Weekend?!”

Welcome back everyone to “The Really REAL Real Estate Podcast!” Over the last several months, we have recorded several episodes talking about why someone may or may not want to list their home over a given holiday weekend. Today, we keep this theme going by talking about the pros and cons of listing your home over the Labor Day weekend as we head into this wonderful 3-day holiday weekend! TALKING POINTS (3-5): - Introduction - PROS: - Buyers are still actively looking for homes, especially if they didn’t find one over the spring or summer markets. - Weather is usually still favorable. - Most people have taken their vacation(s) for the summer. - For many people, this is more of a long weekend off rather than a weekend full of festivities like Memorial Day or 4th of July. - It’s a great weekend to host an open house! - It’s a holiday weekend, so there is less competition! - You can still sell and close before the end of the year! - This is especially important if a seller is trying to close and relocate before winter arrives! - CONS: - The school year has just started so you are most likely only getting first-time homebuyers looking at your home. - It may be a slow weekend if people are taking this weekend to complete personal errands or projects. - This includes “closing up shop” if they own a beach house or lake house or some other type of 2nd vacation home. - The home may be on the market longer than if it was listed over Memorial Day or 4th of July weekends. - This is not the time to mess with the price of your home! - Price it accordingly, so it can still sell quickly! - Any fun plans for the holiday weekend?! - Final thoughts HASH TAGS: #LaborDay #LaborDayweekend #pros #cons LINKS: JASON: https://jasonwilcox.cbintouch.com/ https://www.zillow.com/profile/jasonwilcox1987/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRksfKiMNteHKYRYrinAug?view_as=subscriber https://www.facebook.com/jason.wilcox.186 https://twitter.com/jason_wilcox1 https://www.instagram.com/jason.wilcox1/ CONTACT INFORMATION: JASON: Cell Phone: 412-651-4638 Email: [email protected]
