#1 Get a Great Deal
Lose the competition, since the holidays aren’t prime time for sellers, you’ll likely find homes with eager sellers. When someone puts a house in the market in the middle of the holidays, they really do "NEED" to sell.
You are in a better position to negotiate a lower price, or to get advantage in negotiation about homes inspections, repairs or even upgrades.
#2 Less Competition
Most buyers wait until the Spring & Summer to buy a house. They are out there in greater numbers. Not true during the holidays.
You will probably look at more homes with very few competitors around. This is good news when you are sending an offer as well...you will most likely have less competition to buy out there.
#3 Tax Benefits
If you can close on your new home before the end of the year, you can easily itemize some costs associated with moving like, your real estate taxes and mortgage interest.
If your move is work related, you can also deduct the costs of moving to your new home. Please consult directly with a tax accountant to be 100% sure when/what you can deduct...by closing on your home before the end of the year.
#4 Lower Mortgage Payments
Interest rates on mortgages and loans normally are lower at the end of the year. Taking in consideration the up rising costs of goods and inflation creeping up. Your mortgage interest rates will be much lower in the next 3 to 4 months than next Spring. I heard an expert said "This is not a prediction, but a reality of things to come." Interest rates will be higher in 2022.
#5 A Quicker Settlement
It happens every year, everyone just wants to wrap things up before the holidays and the end of the year. This includes the sellers, agents, banks and all other parties involved inside a real estate transaction.
– so you will find out that you're surrounded by people who are willing to work together & get things moving along.
Make sure, your timing applies to you moving during the holidays.
A seller will not wait for a long period of time to close on a sale after your offer is accepted.
Our commitment as your real estate professional is to help you find your dream home at the right timing for you.
It's the biggest purchase of your life, and can assure you that even small mistakes can be costly. BEWARE, technology changes almost daily and I can help you pinpoint all the homes for sale near your location points. I have access to over 18 million properties from hundreds of locations, including Government properties, action homes, VA homes, HUD Properties and all available private houses for sale in between.
