Ho HO WHOA....where did Christmas GO ?
I think I read somewhere that we celebrated Christmas last week. I vaguely remember some eggnog, last minute shopping, and throwing some gifts into some bags that had happy, smiling snowmen on them that looked like they might have had a nip or two of the eggnog themselves.
Anyway, my point is (and I do have one), that for December, my real estate business has been....active. Hoppin'. Crazy. BUSY.
Please don't misunderstand me - I'm certainly not complaining. Quite the opposite. Nor am I trying to "toot my own horn" (much). Cliche as it may sound, I really do love this business, no matter what month it comes in. It just took me a little off guard!
The last thing I remember before the flood gates opened was....."I have plenty of time to shop/take family photo/address the Christmas cards/trim the tree/eat/breathe......I think it was around the second week of December.
Three sales, (one a foreclosure and another a lease/purchase) two rentals, and two listings in a pear tree later, I'm feelin' pretty blessed.
I've also come to an interesting conclusion - sellers should NOT take their homes off the market for the holidays! I've heard it several times before - "I think I'll take my home off the market until the first of the year".... or, "Nobody is thinking about real estate this time of year".....but according to the mileage on my car and the MLS, it ain't necessarily so.
It looks like I was not the only busy little agent elf, either. In the Georgetown, TX market alone, 139 residential properties have either been changed to pending or sold in the month of December so far.
It actually turned out to be a wonderful holiday season. You know the interesting part was that I never really felt stressed. Everything just kind of....flowed. Like it was all meant to happen that way.
By the way, I think I'll take New Year's Day off.........!!
