1.     Only Serious Buyers Are Out

At this time of year, only those purchasers who are serious about buying a home will be in the market place. You and your family will not be bothered and inconvenienced by mere ‘lookers’. The lookers are at the mall or online doing their holiday shopping.

2.     There Is Far Less Competition

Housing supply always shrinks dramatically at this time of the year. This year is no different!! Inventory is down substantially since spring. Don’t wait until the spring when all the other potential sellers in your market will put their homes up for sale.

3.     The Process Will Be Quicker

One of the biggest challenges of the current housing market has been the length of time it takes from contract to closing. Banks have inundated with both purchase and refinancing loan requests. Both of these will slow in the winter cutting timelines and the frustration these delays cause both buyers and sellers.

4.     There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move-Up

If are you moving to a larger, more expensive home, consider doing it now. Prices are projected to appreciate by over 15% from now through 2016. If you are moving to a higher priced home, it will end up costing you more (both in down payment and mortgage payment) if you wait. You can also lock-in your 30 year housing expense with historically low interest rates right now. There is no guarantee rates will remain at these levels in years to come.

5.     It’s Time to Move On with Your Life

Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and decide whether it is worth waiting. Is money more important that being with family? Is money more important that your health? Is money more important that having the freedom to go on with your life the way you think your should?
