The Top 5 Reasons to Buy a Home at the Holidays
The holidays are upon us, and for many people, that means spending time with family, exchanging gifts, and enjoying festive meals. But for some, the holidays also represent the perfect time to buy a home. Here are the top 5 reasons why buying a home during the holiday season might be the best decision you make all year.
1. End-of-Year Tax Deductions
2. Less Competition from Other Buyers
3. More Motivated Sellers
4. Interest Rates (there are more rate increases planned for early next year)
5. Get a Head Start on Next Year's Home Search
In summary: The holidays are a great time to buy a home for a variety of reasons—from interest rates to more motivated sellers. We also have more homes on the market now than we've had in several years. The trend has moved towards a balanced market and in some segments it is a full on buyers market giving you the buyer more options. Sellers recently have allowed concessions to the buyer for a rate buy down or closing costs. So if you're thinking about making a move, don't wait until the New Year to start your search. Give me a call today and see if buying a home during the holidays is right for you!
