lake norman real estate agent: NOW is a GREAT TIME to Sell Your Home! - 10/26/17 07:48 PM
There are some home buyers in the market that must buy for tax purposes.
During the Holiday Season there are typically less homes on the market. Less supply means less competition. Less competition means more money in your pocket. 
Many people have time off during the Holidays, which increases their availability to see homes. Buyers that buy during the Holiday Season tend to be serious buyers.
Buying is an emotional purchase and emotions tend to run high during the Holiday Season. Having the opportunity to work off a buyer’s emotion can work in your favor.
The Holiday Season reminds many people … (3 comments)

It is thought among the real estate industry that nearly all home buyers make their buying decision before they even get out of the car. They either immediately fall in love or fall out of love.

So ... what can you do to prepare your home?
Look around the outside everywhere. Are the shrubs neatly trimmed? Is there fresh mulch? Is everything … (2 comments)
