Buying or Selling Around the Holidays: Smart or Crazy?

I hear this question a lot: “Is it crazy to buy or sell during the holidays?”

Not necessarily.

Pros for sellers:

• Less competition on the market

• Buyers touring in cold weather are usually serious

• Holiday décor can make homes feel warm and inviting (as long as it’s not overdone)

Pros for buyers:

• Potentially more motivated sellers

• A clearer picture of how a home feels in winter (heating, light, snow/ice, etc.)

The key is to protect your time and energy. We can work together to set boundaries around showings, travel, and events so you’re not overwhelmed.

If you’re considering a holiday-season move, let’s map out what that would actually look like so you can make a calm, informed decision.
