For those who think they should not list their homes during the fall and winter months, think again!!

Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams - BV 581856

Home buyers have been out and about in the Houston area this fall/winter season!  If you don't believe me, let the facts on the MLS speak for themselves!  In COLES CROSSING, located in NW Houston, 17 homes closed during the month of December.  This was second only to the month of MAY when 20 homes closed. (The month of JUNE tied with DECEMBER for 2nd place with 17 homes also closing in JUNE.)  Did I mention one of my sellers signed off on a contract on Christmas Eve??  SO, all that to say if you are ready to move during this time of the year, I would advise you GO FOR IT!  Serious buyers, less competition from other sellers who wait 'til spring to get on the market, and LOW interest rates for a limited time only, all make a great case for getting your home on the market NOW. :)

 COLES CROSSING HOMES SOLD FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER -- SEVENTEEN!

Of the seventeen homes sold in COLES CROSSING for the month of December,  one was a foreclosure, while one was a lease-purchase.  Excluding these two anomolies, the average price/sq. ft. was $83/sq. ft. for homes in COLES CROSSING.  The average number of days on the market for these homes was 55 days--not even two months, which is good news for those wishing for a relatively stress-free sales process! The least expensive home sold for $148500 (not the foreclosure)...while the most expensive home sold for $340,000Both of these sales were CASH sales.

If you are thinking of BUYING or SELLING in COLES CROSSING in Cypress, TX, give me a call.  I'm in the neighborhood and can tell you ALL you need to know about reaching your real estate GOALS.

Many people take time off from work over the Christmas break to search for homes... I wish more people understood this!  Interest rates three weeks ago were a half point lower!  Oh well!

Liz, you are SO right!!  I get more leads off my REMAX site during Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks than any other time of the year.  AND with interest rates SO low...this is quite the purchasing (and thus selling) opportunity!

Hi Sonja - Of course the weather in Houston helps a lot--it is probably more comfortable to look for homes in December than in August!

Ha, Chris, you are right!! I almost put a disclaimer in my post saying "this post is meant for warmer climates ONLY!!"  I cannot imagine showing homes up north in subfreezing temperatures!!
