WHY THE HOLIDAYS ARE HOT!!

Why the Holidays are HOT!

Holiday season can be a hot time to sell your home. It's true! Here are some solid reasons why:

•1. Curb appeal & show appeal! The twinkly lights, garlands, tree, decorations and yummy smells of the holidays can all help your home show better.

•2. Inventory is down. This means buyers have fewer choices overall, so your home has an even greater chance of being the "standout."

•3. More time to house shop: A large number of people have extra time off at the holidays, so they finally have time to do their desired home shopping.

•4. Time for job transfers: Having your home on the market now allows you to capture all the job and military transferees who may not be able to wait until spring to buy a home. I am currently working with two military couples who are moving in March to start at Bangor in the beginning of April. We have started the online home search and in January, they'll come out here to choose a home during a brief visit, so it will close in March, when they need to move in.

•5. Tax incentives: Many smart and logical buyers know that if they buy by the end of the year, they'll be able to increase their itemized income tax deductions for mortgage loan fees, interest and pro-rated property taxes.
