Part 1: Why It Makes Sense To Keep House Hunting Through the Holidays

Traditionally real estate history has often advised buyers and sellers that once Thanksgiving comes around, they might as well pack it in, hunker down and wait till after the new year to get serious about getting their transactions closed. But there are some benefits to keeping up with the house hunt right now while the holiday season is in full swing:

Lower dream home competition.

Conventional real estate wisdom says the spring and summer months as the best months of the year for real estate sales, because families with children prefer to move into their new homes before September and the bad weather and holiday festivities keep house hunting to a minimum, during the winter.
So, if you do kick your house hunt into high gear right now, you’ll face fewer competitors. And that means fewer multiple offers and a lower likelihood of being outbid and getting a better price.
