Why You Should Buy a Home during the Holidays
Christmas time is the best time of year for shopping, right? So why not go all out and buy yourself a new home for the holidays. There are some really good reasons why you should consider buying a home this time of year, especially if you’re planning on doing it soon anyway! Click here to see SC Real Estate for Sale.
Why you should buy now:
Interest Rates Are Lower
Historically, interest rates drop in December and January – so buy now to potentially reduce your payments.
Sellers Are Motivated
The reality is Military families in Charleston haven’t been flooding the real estate market lately. Many homes have been on the market longer than most of us are used to, so sellers during this time of year can be more motivated to sell.
Slower Buyer Market
Though sellers may be more motivated during the holidays, there is less buyer competition – so military families in Charleston have a better chance of negotiating a great price now.
Close Faster
The end of the year brings a slowdown in mortgage business, title company closings, and most services related to real estate closings. So, things can speed up. Also, some lenders are looking to squeeze a bit more business into the current year, so they’ll move the process along faster.
Tax Advantages
Many settlement costs and mortgage points are deductible in the year in which they’re paid. So, if you are thinking of buying, now may be the time!
