Hello friends & blog readers! I have been reluctant to blog in the traditional day to day manner of most bloggers, but here goes----
Happy Holidays! This is the time of year that the residential real estate market goes haywire. We have approximately ten days until holiday silence hits. Many agents are torn right now because they are laiden with Holiday/family responsibilities and lets not forget all those parties. The reality is any likelihood of sales must be consummated right now.
This final push to do business will result in a paycheck for January – and, of course, for our client success in the new year. If you are buying or selling right now, don’t look for your agent to give you an honest “its going to be alright” because the bottom line is – it’s the holidays and the variables are endless. However, I am sure your agent is giving it their all. If things are quiet for you in the real estate market, do what needs to be done. If you are a seller, do your repairs and staging. Buyers! Pack your bags and be realistic about what you can afford. And what you can count on. Realtors, enjoy your family, friends and co-workers because the second week in January the floodgates open and all will be too busy to handle the details with any finesse.
