Selling Your Home During the Holidays: Myths vs. Reality in Westmoreland County

🎁 Heard You Shouldn’t Sell in December? Let’s Reconsider That

There’s a common myth that the holiday season is the “worst” time to sell.

But here in Westmoreland County, the truth is: Homes sell year-round. And in December, serious buyers are still out looking—while most sellers wait until spring.

That’s your strategic advantage.

🚫 3 Holiday Home Selling Myths (Busted)

Myth #1: “No one buys homes in December.”
Fact: Relocators, first-time buyers, and investors do not pause just because it’s cold. Many are trying to close before year-end for tax or job reasons.

Myth #2: “Decorations make it hard to stage.”
Fact: Tasteful decor (think greenery, neutral lights, minimalism) can actually make your home feel warmer and more inviting.

Myth #3: “I’ll get a better price in spring.”
Fact: More competition = less leverage. December sellers often face less competition and more motivated buyers.
