In last week’s blog we discussed what home sellers can do during the approaching holiday season to increase their chances of selling their home in the new year. This week, we would like to shift gears and discuss what actions need to be taken at the end of the year to prepare for purchasing a home in the first quarter.
Historically, February is the 2nd highest listing volume month of the entire year. Many industry experts believe this is because sellers have a propensity to wait to list their property until after the holidays. With that being said, home buyers should be preparing now to ensure that they are ready to move forward with the buying process when they find the home they want to buy. Therefore, one of the best proactive tasks a buyer can do is get pre-approved for their home loan…NOW to prepare for the first quarter home selling season.
In closing, homes in metro Atlanta are being reduced in price for a “year in clearance” if you will.
