Why December is a GREAT Time to Purchase a Home!

Why December is a GREAT Time to Purchase a Home!

  • This is a definite fallacy as I have had many clients over the years purchase a home during this period
  • Reduced inventory but also less buyer competition during this period. Many serious sellers have their home available during this period
  • The possibility of sellers wanting or needing to sell by year end can create urgency on their part, which could be advantageous price wise to a qualified buyer
  • Mortgage interest rates are currently favourable
  • For buyers wanting to take possession before Christmas, there are numerous vacant home options. As of November 20, 31.5% of Detached homes listed were actually vacant!

Can You Sell Your Home in December??

Calgary December Real Estate Myth 1.0
You Can’t Sell Your Home During December.
*There is an incorrect perception that homes won’t sell during December.
*As a result, listing inventory reduces during the month as people either take their homes off the market or wait to list them.
*The reality is that serious buyers are still looking during this period, while the tire kickers are distracted.
*Homes for sale during this period look homey and festive.
*For homeowners concerned about people wanting to view their home just before and just after Christmas it is very simple to change the status to Withdrawn for a period to enjoy uninterrupted time over the holidays, and then immediately put it back to Active.
*There is generally a thought to wait until after the holidays and list then. By doing so sellers are likely to then be competing with an influx of newly listed properties, therefore increasing competition for sales.
