Whidbey Island Real Estate and Oak Harbor Homes for Sale

Yes, you can sell your Whidbey Island home during the holidays

The Holiday season isn't the best time to sell your Whidbey Island home, but if you have no choice, there are reasons to be merry. Anyone house-hunting on Whidbey Island on Thanksgiving or Christmas weekend must have a good reason: You are less likely to waste time on casual buyers and you won't have much competition.

Try these expert tips:

     Decorate tastefully.
Decking the halls is fun, but don't overdo it. Buyers want to see the home, not your mega-light display or 8 foot Christmas tree. Opt for neutral decor.

     Add curb appeal.
Replace summer plants with evergreen perennials such as hellebores or witch hazel. Bare trees expose your home, so touch up paint and clean gutters. Clear walkways of snow and ice.

     Price for a fire sale.
You don't have time to mess around with price reductions. Price you home 10% to 15% below comparable homes on the market.

     Hire a good agent.
You'll need a Whidbey Island professional who can show your home at a moment's notice and target buyers on a deadline.

Please contact us for other suggestions and pointers to help you achieve your goal of getting your home sold.
