81. Why You Should Sell Your Home During the Holidays

In this episode of TR Talks Toronto Real Estate, Geeta and Xerxes uncover the top reasons to list your home during the holiday season. They highlight how motivated buyers, the charm of holiday decor, and lower competition give sellers a unique edge in the real estate market. Timing, they stress, is critical, and the holiday season offers a strategic opportunity to maximize your home's visibility and value.

The episode also covers important updates to Canadian real estate laws, effective December 15th. Geeta and Andy discuss new government rules raising the low-down-payment threshold from $1 million to $1.5 million and extending amortization periods to 30 years. These changes make homeownership more accessible for buyers, particularly in the $1–$1.5 million range, driving increased market activity.
