With all the hustle and bustle of this beautiful season, I hear it more and more everyday. "We'll wait until after the holidays to list our home or to start looking again".

Let me give you some food for thought if this describes something you've thought or said in the past.

Do you remember back from your high school economics class when the teacher said that most people make money in investments when they do what the multitudes are NOT doing and vice versa? Well, it's the same with real estate. If everyone is sitting on the sidelines waiting for the holidays to be over or for rates to come down further or another government program to be introduced.......sales are soft. THAT'S the time to not just dip your toes into the market but to actually take the plunge! When everyone starts to get into the market, the competition goes up, making your negotiating position softer.

So, if you're thinking of buying or selling.....you may want to look at your timing. It may be too late to beat the January push, but more people will be thinking of buying/selling in the "spring" market and you can get a jump on that market if you put a plan in place in January.

Merry Christmas and here's to a happy, healthy 2011!
