November and December tend to be slow months in the real estate market, but the season can provide great opportunities for both buyer and seller.
For the Seller
* Home owners should make a special effort to have their homes look their best during the holidays. While extensive decorating is not advised, decorations that don't overpower a house can enhance it.
* Typically, those who actually look at a house are serious buyers. People who are just shopping around won't bother you.
* There is less competition for those selling in December. Many home owners wait until spring to list their homes.
For the Buyer
*Homes repossessed by lenders may be offered at bargain prices. The banks and mortgage companies don't want them on the books when the new year begins.
* Because many business relocations occur at this time of year, there could be an unusual opportunity to buy at a lower price from someone who must move very soon.
