Thinking about buying a home? The holidays might be the best time!
All the things that may make the home buying process difficult for you during the holidays, are the same obstacles that others would face as well; from the shopping, traveling and holiday parties, time can be very limited and funds can often be stretched.
However, if you are able to prioritize your home purchase, you have the chance to not only beat out other potential buyers on the market, but leverage your position during negotiations.
Sellers are looking to sell their home quickly; sellers during the holidays are even more motivated. Whether trying to move into their next home before the holidays come around, or due to life changes, many sellers are willing to negotiate. Just like end of the year sales, sellers need to get out. They realize if they are unable to sell their home now, they may potentially be waiting up until the spring season to find a buyer. For many however, that is too long of a wait.
