6 Reasons Why You Should Buy Real Estate in December

December and New Year’s Day give you the perfect occasion to buy real estate. Not only can you pick up a bargain property from a motivated seller, but you can also save on your purchase expenses.

1. Home shoppers put off looking for a home because of holiday decorating, shopping, and parties. Plus, the cold weather makes home buyers prefer to stay home; they wait for warm weather to buy real estate. Get the edge with little competition from other buyers.
2. Home sellers who didn’t sell during the recent buying frenzy are worried that their home will not sell. Any seller offering their home for sale during the holiday season is motivated.
3. Real estate agents need to keep their momentum going and can’t afford to take too much time off. When the agents aren’t as busy, you get better service. Plus, they’re more likely to take low offers seriously. Agents love investors ready to buy real estate during December.
4. Interest rates continue to creep up. Who knows what the rates will rise to next year?
5. Lenders threaten to tighten up qualifications next year. Last summer, loan officers were able to get through almost any loan. Today is your best shot to buy real estate and get a great rate with the easiest qualifications.
6. Appraisers need work. Too many individuals became real estate appraisers when there was too much work. It used to take a week or more to schedule an appraisal.

Clear some time from your busy holiday schedule and go find a bargain house. Make many offers. You won’t get this break for another year. If you are looking for pre-selling properties, now is the best time to get one. Reservation fees and Equity rates are currently in a promo making it very much affordable and inviting than before.

Nothing beats welcoming the new year with new investment for you and your family.
