But Desare Kohn-Laski, broker-owner of Skye Louis Realty in Coconut Creek, Fla., offers some points to pass on to your clients, letting them know this is one of the best times of the year to shop for a house.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Less Competition, Better Prices.<\/strong><br \/>\nLet your clients know that the holiday months work in their favor. \u201cInstead of competing with hungry buyers, eager to move in before the school year begins, the dip in demand actually drives prices down, and can create a mini buyers\u2019 market,\u201d Kohn-Laski says. In her experience, buyers often fare better in the negotiation process during the winter months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>More Time to (Home) Shop.<\/strong><br \/>\nTime off around the holidays gives many buyers the opportunity to do some careful house hunting. Instead of giving up an entire weekend to open houses and showings, buyers can more leisurely tour homes during the week, Kohn-Laski suggests.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Tax Benefits.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe still don\u2019t know how the House and Senate tax reform bills will shake out in conference committee; however, if your clients purchase in 2017, they can still deduct property taxes, mortgage interest, and other costs. Learn more about how you can influence tax reform.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Move-In Ready Weather.<\/strong><br \/>\nFor a large part of the country, winter is a favorable season to move. The heavy lifting of furniture and home improvement projects are easier to perform without the heat of the summer months, Kohn-Laski says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThere are numerous benefits and added perks to buying a house during the holiday season that make December arguably the best time to buy,\u201d Kohn-Laski says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/realtormag.realtor.org\/daily-news\/2017\/12\/08\/4-reasons-december-favorable-for-buyers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 Reasons December is Favorable for Buyers<\/a> by Erica Christoffer | REALTOR\u00ae Magazine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many home shoppers don\u2019t think about purchasing a house during the holiday months\u2014many even put their home search on hold.
