Buying a House During the Holidays Makes Good Sense

The holiday season is typically a time for family and friends; consequently the real estate market tends to slow down. But that doesn't mean you have to put house hunting on hold. In fact, many home buyers have discovered the holidays are one of the best times to shop for a home. Our REALTORS® at Fletcher Bright Realty have created this list of five reasons why the holidays are an excellent time to make your home buying dreams come true.

1. Less Competition – Many home buyers sit the holidays out either because they're too busy or because they assume sellers are sitting the season out too. While it's true that there tends to be less market action overall during the holidays, there are still plenty of people interested in selling their homes. Less competition for available homes means you have a better chance of landing your first choice and getting a great deal in the process.

Put Your Home at the Top of a Buyer's List with a Great Open House

Holding an open house is a great way to get your home noticed by prospective buyers.  Get ready for your open house by using these ten tips from our Realtors at Fletcher Bright Realty to make your home stand out from the competition the minute it hits the real estate market.  

1. Remove the Mess
   Even if you cleaned and staged your home before you first listed it, if you are living there, you may need to give it a good going over before each open house. Remove any clutter and do a thorough cleaning. Scrubbing and polishing helps eliminate unwanted odors as well. Since this is the opportunity to draw people in and make an impact, don't overlook less frequently cleaned spots like the windows, walls or furniture.
