Alright, alright… I know we are in Arizona and, for the most part, the weather is quite delightful too!  This time of year is why we live here, right?

Take a look at the inventory levels for November (chart below).  There is quite the jump from October and quite the drop in sales for November.  This is normal for this time of year.  Thanksgiving week is actually the slowest week in real estate every year.  This creates an interesting opportunity for buyers.  The sellers that are on the market between now and the end of the year are usually highly motivated to sell.  Get off the fence, Buyers!  Interest rates are great which allows for more affordability on top of the great deal that you are likely to negotiate at this time (assuming you are aligned with the ninja negotiators at Team Evolution).  Sellers, now isn’t a terrible time to sell.  I’ve actually sold homes on Christmas Day before.  As long as your price and condition are appropriate for your area, you should have no trouble.  Our current listings have flown off the shelves!

Let us first mention that mortgage interest rates are GREAT right now!  Inventory is up but not so much that there aren’t buyers for all.  Yeah, it’s a little slower during the holiday season because everyone is a little more focused on pumpkin pie than real estate BUT that doesn’t mean your home isn’t going to sell.  Talk to us about strategy and positioning and you’ll be well on your way to a sold sign in your yard.  What’s that?  If you hold out a little longer could you make more money?  Sure but then you’ll be paying that much more for the next place.  Bottom line… take your equity and invest it in the next place now, before prices & interest rates creep up while you aren’t looking.
