In the Atlanta Metro Area, as the winter season begins to settle in, Thanksgiving marks the beginning of a seasonal slowdown in home sales activity. That doesn't mean there are fewer homes for sale. Nor does it mean "motivated Buyers" are any less motivated to buy a home. What seems to occur is a "mental sigh" accompanied by a significant slowdown in showing activity. True, most of us are thinking about the upcoming holiday events, days off spent with friends and family, a few days of rest before re-entering the fray as a prelude to the spring and summer selling season. However, for us and our Team, it is not unusual to be writing or negotiating an Agreement the night before Thanksgiving or the day before Christmas. A wonderful holiday present for both Buyers and Sellers is a firm agreement leading to a closed home sale. We know too, that REO asset managers don't shut down in December and rejoin the market again in January. The clock and ticker is always running on the millions of dollars of assets on their books. We have concluded many a great deal for our Buyers right around the holidays. Sellers, reaching out to those "motivated Buyers" with innovative marketing and pricing adjustments can often bring a sale that otherwise might be missed. For Buyers, your negotiating power is at a peak. Everyone should be ready, willing and able to make a good win-win deal. So don't slow down for the holidays. You could have the best Christmas ever!
