I don't know about your cities but in my area, one can feel a slowing of real estate at this time of the year. And once Thanksgiving gets here, it seems that everyone starts taking off for Christmas. Showing houses at Christmas is not ideal because you can't see the house for the decorations!
I do remember once, however, a very prominent person buying a big house on Christmas eve. He'd seen it but didn't really make up his mind until the day before Christmas. He called his agent and she'd gone to visit relatives in another state.
He was very "put out" with the agent for not being there when he needed her. The manager stepped in and did the paper work for her. I think the businessman was buying the house to please his wife.....so he wouldn't have to buy her anything else for Christmas! Good gift!!!
