List your home during the Holiday Season?

I have mixed feelings about listing homes during the Holidays here in N.W.Ohio...
Who is out house shopping at Christmas time? Who is out in the cold rain and snow looking at houses let a lone buying one? Who has the time do add house shopping in the middle of baking, cooking, wrapping visiting friends and family...it is just plane busy, busy, busy time of the year!!!
On the other hand... that is a lot of busy people out and about in their neighborhoods and communities who just might see your yard sign amongst the the snowman and Santa out front...
If buyers are looking at homes in November and December I can just about bet they are serious buyers so you need to be prepared for them to come on in!
When your home is on the market in N.W. Ohio during the winter months take extra caution at your front and back doors... be sure to remove snow and ice. 1) so there is no slipping and falling 2) prevent the weather conditions from coming in doors on shoes and boots...always keep your entry ways clean and clear!
Have area rugs just inside the door allowing buyers to wipe off there wet snowy boots! After all you cleaned your floors for the showing right???
List your home during the Holidays? You betcha!
