The Best Reasons to Buy and Sell Real Estate Around the Holidays and During the Winter
Let's start with the #1 reason: Home Buyers and Sellers in the market this time of year are usually serious. These are the home buyers and sellers that are usually moving for one of the following important reasons:
- Job Relocation
- End of a Lease
- Family Change (Marriage/Divorce, Birth, Death, etc)
- Making a school change
- Financial Change - A change in income, interest rates, etc
OK - so what are the other reasons?
- Beat the "Spring Rush" of competing buyers and sellers
- Lenders (and home inspectors and contractors and photographers and movers and real estate agents...) often have more time for buyers (and sellers)
- Many buyers and sellers have vacation days around the holidays to browse on line and visit homes
- It's great to research schools while school is in session
- Many builders are offer construction incentives
- Strategic tax planning benefits
- Tax refunds for downpayment or expenses
- Be in your home in time to enjoy spring/summer there!
