As the holiday season approaches, many Metro Detroit homeowners start wondering:
“If I want to sell my home after the holidays, when should I contact a Realtor?”

The honest answer, and the one that can make or break your success, is simple:
You should reach out to Jeff Duneske now.

And if you live in Northville, Novi, South Lyon, Plymouth, or the surrounding Metro Detroit communities, that means getting in touch with Jeff Duneske, your trusted local real estate expert.

1. Preparation and Strategy Take Time

A strong home sale doesn’t start with a sign in the yard; it begins with strategy.
From home preparation and market analysis to photography, staging, and pricing, every step requires thoughtful planning.

By contacting me now, we can:

Create a customized pre-listing timeline that fits your goals
Identify simple updates that can increase your home’s value
Line up professional photography and marketing before winter weather hits
Choose the perfect listing date to attract early 2026 buyers

Most sellers underestimate how long it takes to properly prepare. By starting now, you’ll hit the ground running when buyers return after the holidays.

2. Serious Buyers Start Searching Early

In the Metro Detroit real estate market, the “spring” market doesn’t start in April, it starts in January.
Many motivated buyers begin their search just after New Year’s, eager to get ahead of the competition.

Homes listed between mid-January and early March often benefit from:

Lower inventory (less competition)
Highly motivated buyers
Faster sales and stronger offers

Reaching out now means you’ll be perfectly positioned to take advantage of this window.

3. Maximize Your Home’s Market Value

I specialize in helping homeowners maximize their home’s value through a proven system that combines:

Local market expertise (over 25 years in Northville and Metro Detroit)
Strategic pricing and marketing plans
Professional staging and presentation guidance
Data-driven negotiation strategies to protect your bottom line

If your goal is to start the new year with clarity, confidence, and a clear plan to sell, there’s no better time to begin the conversation.

4. Avoid the Post-Holiday Rush

Vendors, stagers, and photographers get booked quickly after the holidays.
By scheduling your pre-listing consultation now, we can secure the best resources and avoid the January rush.

This gives you the freedom to enjoy the holidays knowing that everything is already in motion for your upcoming move.

5. Be Ready and Don’t Play Catch-Up

Contacting Jeff Duneske in November or December doesn’t mean you’re committing to listing right away; it simply means you’re preparing smart.

During our pre-listing meeting, we’ll:

Review your home’s current market value
Discuss your goals and timing
Build a custom plan to sell your home quickly and profitably
Decide the best time to list based on real-time local market data

That way, when the time is right, you’ll be ready, not rushed.

Bottom Line

If you’re even thinking about selling after the holidays, the best time to reach out is now.
A simple, no-pressure strategy call today can position you for success when the new year begins.
