December Is Upon Us!

I don’t know about you, but I had a wonderful holiday.  My wife cooked a great meal, and we had a few friends and family over.  It was nice and quiet just the way I like it.  I will say that I do find it a bit ridiculous that so many stores were open Thanksgiving night.  I guess it’s a sign of the times.  I don’t like it but hey, to each his own.


My wife loves to go out on Black Friday.  So every year we go out, but we don’t leave the house until late morning to avoid most of the crazy shoppers.  We really go out just to people watch.  We bought a few gifts but again I think she just likes to watch all the madness!  Speaking of madness it has been a crazy couple of weeks in the real estate business.


I find that one of the hardest things to do in this business is trying to schedule closings.  Between a buyer a seller a couple of Realtors, add a loan officer a title company and of course the holidays and its a recipe for disaster!  I’m only partly teasing, but it can be incredibly frustrating.  Everyone is so busy these days.  Getting a group of people on the same page is quite the task.

Now that Thanksgiving is over we have about 2 weeks to get everyone moved in and moved out.  Not much happens the last couple weeks of December.  Nobody wants to be moving on Christmas. One of the great things, anyone that is looking to sell their home, all but guarantees that they won’t have to be moving out until January.  Most loans need anywhere from 30-45 days to process. So if you list your home today and it sells tomorrow.  You probably won’t be closing until Mid January.


The great thing about listing this time of year is that you don’t have as much competition.  It makes it easier to get that higher price that you want.  If you're thinking about selling a home…..buying a home…..investing in real estate…..or starting a career in real estate contact me today!  Happy Holidays!
