Seven reasons to sell your house this holiday season:

1. Mortgage interest rates are historically low right now, providing the motivation for those who are ready to get more for their money over the life of their home loan. Northern VA buyers are active right now.

2. Home Buyers who look for homes during the holidays are serious, and they’re ready willing and able to buy.

3. You can add a few restrictions on showings in your house to days and times that are most convenient. You’ll remain in control, especially in today’s sellers’ market.

4. Surprising to many sellers homes decorated for the holidays appeal to many buyers.
