With sellers eager to close before the holidays, buyers can negotiate lower prices and snag extra perks like appliances.
The housing market seems uncertain right now. Maybe you're wondering, "Should I wait until next year to buy or sell?"
Everyone's buzzing about 2025 being the year for real estate—lower interest rates, more activity. It sounds tempting to hold off, right? But now is the perfect time to make real estate transactions.
"Now is the perfect time to secure the home you love before prices increase."
This year has been one of the slowest in real estate since 1995. Sellers who've had their homes on the market for a while are motivated to sell before the holidays. That means you have the upper hand. With fewer buyers, you face less competition and can negotiate better deals. Here’s what it looks like:
-
Lower prices: Sellers are more willing to drop their asking prices.
-
Extra perks: Think washers, dryers, refrigerators—they're up for grabs.
-
Tax benefits: Close before the end of 2024 and enjoy this year's tax advantages.
I get it—interest rates seem high right now. But did you know most lenders offer free refinancing within the next two to three years? That means you can buy your dream home today and refinance when rates drop, which experts expect to happen by the second quarter of next year.
So yes, you might pay more monthly for a short while, but you'll secure the home you love at a price that might not be available later.
Imagine settling into your new home, knowing you snagged it at a great price with favorable terms. You deserve that feeling of accomplishment and security. Don't wait for 2025 when the market heats up. Make your move now and get ahead of the crowd. Contact me at (210) 906-9599 or [email protected], and let's discuss how to make this happen for you.
