Home For The Holidays?
It’s no secret: home sales slow down during the holidays. People don’t want to be moving around in the middle of December: they want to stay home, be with family, and not add any additional stress to their pile! However, if you are trying to buy, December may be your month to strike. With the low home inventory and the tight competition happening now, it may pay off to go through with it when no one else is looking. Check out this post by Vera Gibbons at Zillow for more reasons to buy a home for the holidays:
-Bargain prices- prices are lower in December than any other month
-Mortgage rates are very low right now
-Motivated sellers- If sellers are listing their home for sale this time of year, this likely means they’re serious about shedding the weight of their residences.

Happy Veteran’s Day! Buying A Home As A Veteran
First of all, Happy Veteran’s Day to all! If you are a veteran, I thank you for your service to this country. Buying a home can be a difficult process for anyone. That’s why it’s important to have a real estate agent! However, being active or retired military can present its own set of challenges. You may have to move around a lot, deal with getting a VA loan, and might not be there for some of the process. That’s why you should look for a military-friendly real estate agent! Read this post by Christian Losciale at Veterans United for more information:
Wise realtors know about VA loans.
It doesn’t hurt that they’ll understand your desire to take advantage of your VA loan benefit.
While civilian homebuyers are also on budgets, military homebuyers often have stricter fiscal limits. Real estate agents who frequently work with military families understand this need.
Real estate agents familiar with their area know the pros and cons to living on a nearby military installation. They won’t pressure you into living on or off a base, but rather they’ll ask how you feel about commuting, living close to your obligations, and your overall preference.
