The Super Bowl has been known to spur many would-be home shoppers into action. The real estate market has traditionally launched to new heights succeeding past Super Bowls. The Aitken Home Team presents 5 Super Bowl advantages for sellers:
1. – Unity Under One Roof
Football has the unique ability to unite many people together regardless of race, religion, age, and a parfait of additional characteristics. In many ways, football is what binds our nation together. Or maybe it’s the hot wings, beer, chip dip, and overstuffed furniture?
Some realtors consider the Super Bowl Sunday kick-off to be the launch of a new market season. This seems to be the time in which many prospective homeowners start to think about shopping for a new house. Perhaps such motivation stems from creative Super Bowl commercials, the desire for a larger man cave in which to enjoy the succeeding year’s Super Bowl, or the realization that one can host only ten guests in a given family room versus fifty. Such factors are certainly something to think about if you are one of many sellers on the fence about putting your home on the market soon.
2. – Exciting Open House Theme
Experienced realtors enjoy creativity and know-how to incorporate just the right touches to lure in prospective buyers. Whether utilizing tools such as ambient music, catering, or colorful decor, an experienced agent will find the prospect of hosting a Super Bowl-themed open house appealing. Timing an open house to coincide with the start of the Super Bowl can invite serious buyers to tour your home if they know they won’t need to miss a second of the game. There are not likely to be many open houses taking place during the Super Bowl, so this will give homeowners a leg up and the opportunity to catch travelers who are on their way to Super Bowl parties. Remember: rare open houses make for less competition!
