Winter is here. That means the holidays are coming, temperatures will drop, and it’s the best time of the year to sell your Southern California house. While the rest of the world is hibernating for the entire season, you can take advantage of what the winter time has to offer. After all, this is the most wonderful time of the year…to sell your house. Don’t believe us? Let us explain how.

Nostalgia FTW
Perhaps no other holidays pull at your heartstrings quite like the winter months. When potential homebuyers are searching for a house, they are looking to purchase a backdrop for their future memories. As any family will attest to, some of the most formative memories in any clan’s life are the holidays.
By decorating your house with holiday spirit, you might trigger feelings inside of potential clients they didn’t even know they had. Throw up some lights, plop a couple inflatables on the front lawn, and put that Elf on the Shelf. Anything that can get potential buyers to imagine their future in your house will go along way in selling them a home.

Makes a Great Gift
Is there anything more heartwarming for a holiday gift than planning your future with the ones you love? Nothing says “I love you” during the holiday season like milestones. Besides an engagement ring, there isn’t a gift in this world that tells the person you love how serious you are about the future more than a house.
Many young families take the plunge and buy a house to surprise their significant other for the holidays. Take advantage of this life-altering moment and put your house on the market just in time for the holiday season.

Location
The greatest aspect of living in Southern California is the location. Nothing causes Easterners and Northerners to relocate more than the cold months. Whether they’re snowbirding on vacation or looking to get out of dodge online, people want to get out of the cold and thaw out. Why not choose your house to be that heater? By putting your house on the market in the winter months, you are going to draw in people who are looking for a change of scenery.
Make sure to really market the climate in your ad. If there are images unique to SoCal like palm trees or oceanfront, be sure to include them in your posting. Remind the rest of the world that it’s not freezing where your house is located and that buying your home can give the potential buyer a unique landscape all year round.
