This scenario is actually fairly common and totally doable. A knowledgeable agent can guide you through the process, negotiate the best terms and get you into a new home \u2013 all in time to celebrate with family and friends. Here\u2019s how you can get started.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Understand the Market<\/strong><br \/>\nAlthough spring and summer are considered peak buying and selling season, you can still snag a great deal during fall and winter months \u2013 if you have a good handle on your local market. Your agent is an invaluable resource for information on current inventory, comparable properties, average home prices and median days on the market. Once you know where you stand, you can weigh the options and make smart decisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Prepare Your Home for Listing<\/strong><br \/>\nNow is the time to do a careful review of your property and determine if any repairs or upgrades are needed. Your agent can provide a list of trusted vendors, tradespeople and contractors to take care of larger tasks while staging your house for broad buyer appeal, arranging professional photography and marketing your home for maximum exposure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Get Ready to Move<\/strong><br \/>\nTo further prepare your home for the market, you want to start decluttering and depersonalizing by boxing up items for donation or storage. You can make this process manageable by targeting one room at a time. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be one step closer to the big move.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Evaluate Your Finances<\/strong><br \/>\nTaking a realistic look at your financial situation is crucial to determining the size and location of the home you want to purchase and if you need to sell your current home before buying. Your agent can connect you with a reputable lender who will walk you through the available loan options. Having a good understanding of your finances will also ease any stress you may be feeling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Find Your New Home<\/strong><br \/>\nTo help narrow down the search, create a wish list, prioritize your \u201cmust-haves\u201d and check out homes for sale on coldwellbanker.com or in person with your agent. While viewing properties, imagine living there. Is the dining space large enough for Thanksgiving dinner? Do you have somewhere to hang your stockings? How will your holiday lights look to neighbors passing by? If you feel that emotional connection, you know you\u2019ve found the one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, is it possible to buy and sell before the holidays? The answer is yes. By working closely with a skilled real estate professional, you can set a timeline, plan out your strategy and ring in the new year in your new home.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.coldwellbanker.com\/you-could-be-in-a-new-home-for-the-holidays\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You Could be In A New Home for The Holidays<\/a> by Jennifer McGuire | CB Blue Matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you been dreaming of selling your home, buying a new one and moving in before the holidays?
