Thanksgiving is a few days away and Friday marks the beginning of the Holiday season. Everyone is gearing up for what’s arguably the busiest time of year. While I’ll admit this probably isn’t the most convenient time for a seller to put their house on the market or a buyer to search properties, but it’s definitely the time of year when houses and their neighborhoods are looking festive and fantastic. Couple that with the extension and expansion of the $8,000 tax credit, along with interest rates hovering around 5% and this may be the best holiday ever to buy or sell a home!
If you’re thinking about waiting until after the holidays to make your move, you might want to think again. As a seller, you have the opportunity to take advantage of the vast number of first-time or repeat home buyers looking to cash in on the $8,000/$6,500 tax credit. And as a buyer, this is a great time to view decked-out homes and tour these properties with the holiday cheer they deserve!
