People often ask me whether they should list their home for sale during the holiday season. Here are a few points to consider:

There's no question that showing activity generally slows down between Thanksgiving and the first of the year. Part of this is due to the fact that many agents decide to take vacations during that time. Personally, I had some of my best months for sales in December, especially when I stayed in town rather than taking time off. There are several advantages to having your property on the market in December, especially if you decorate your house for the holidays. A warm fire and the smell of homemade cinnamon rolls (even if they came out of the can) will make your house more appealing. If your neighbors decorate their houses, that's an additional plus, especially if there is any type of neighborhood competition. Most buyers are drawn to communities where the residents take pride in their property. Even though there are fewer buyers looking over the holidays, those who are looking are usually very motivated to buy. Like your family, they often have to move quickly. The last few months of the year often see an uptick in investor activity. An investor may be purchasing because the current interest rates are very favorable or to pick up some additional tax write-offs in this tax year.

So if you're on the fence about listing your home for sale before the end of the year, keep these points in mind.

Complementing Georgetown Texas's historic downtown district is the newly opened Wolf Ranch Shopping Center close to downtown at the interesection of IH35 and Highway 29.

Featuring at least 40 retail stores and restaurants, along with 11 large anchor retail businesses, this open air mall is a favorite shopping area for the entire county.

Owned by the Simon Property Group and developed under the City of Georgetown Unified Development Code the buidings replicate the small town feel of a past age.

The center was built on the site of the ranch owned and operated for years by Jay Wolf, hence the name Wolf Ranch Shopping Center. The developers protected many of the century old trees and even incorporated them into the parking plan and the building sites.

Care was taken to integrate the parking and preserve the trees and even add green spaces

When was the last time you were able to take a wooded hiking path back to your parked car?

One of my favorite places is the outdoor patio area between the Fish City Grill and The Cotton Patch Restaurant. It's a perfect place to enjoy a drink and take in the spectacular view of the sunset.

The sculpture is as inspiring as the sunset.

I hope you enjoy your shopping experience as much as we do!

One of the greatest features of Georgetown Texas is it's beautiful San Gabriel Park, the keystone of Georgetown's extensive park system. The park is near the center of town and occupies the original river crossing and sacred campground used by the native American Indians. There are centuries old live oak trees that the Indians tied down as saplings to mark the trail.Park amenities include a Gazebo for Eventshiking trails, softball and baseball diamonds, a rodeo arena, many soccer fields, disc golf course, playgrounds and more. Of course nothiing is more fun than just meeting friends and family at the park and enjoying grilled hot dogs.

afterwards you can feed the ducks or take a bike ride to work off all those calories
