5 Tips for house hunting during the holidays!!

1. Remember that sellers who are showing their home over the holidays may also need to move soon and may therefore be more motivated to negotiate on price.

2. There may be less inventory available. Often homeowners take their listings down over the holidays. We may just find the perfect house with a seller willing to work with us.

3. Be patient with homeowners willing to show their homes and make the most of your showing time. Try your best to be on time for your showing appointment and be free of distractions. Leave the kids with a sitter, and if you are buying with a spouse or partner, schedule showings when you both can attend together, so as not to waste anyone’s time.

4. Look past holiday décor. Don’t be distracted by garland, lights, and trees. Make sure you take time to look past decorations to see every corner and fixture in the home.

5. Do your homework before you go looking. Scrutinize pictures or video tours. Researching the homes ahead of time will help make sure you are not wasting time looking at homes that you know won’t fit your families needs!
