As the holiday season rolls in, many people in Manitoba enjoy the festive cheer, family gatherings, and delicious feasts that come with Christmas. However, the real estate market in our beautiful province doesn't come to a standstill during this time; in fact, it often sees a unique set of activities and opportunities that can benefit both buyers and sellers.
The Holiday Boost
While many might assume that the holiday season slows down real estate transactions, the reality is quite different! December can be an excellent time for serious buyers and sellers to make their moves. Motivated buyers are often looking to close before the year ends, taking advantage of potential tax benefits. Additionally, with fewer listings on the market, sellers have a chance to stand out and attract buyers who are eager to find a home before the new year.
Brad Hirst’s Insight
As an award-winning realtor with over ten years of experience at Royal LePage Prime, Brad Hirst has seen firsthand the advantages of engaging in the real estate market during Christmas. “While some people might take a step back during the holidays, those who remain active are often motivated and ready to make decisions,” says Brad. “I always encourage my clients to consider listing their homes during this time, as well as to be open to exploring properties that catch their interest.”
Opportunities for Buyers and Sellers
During the holiday season, several unique opportunities arise:
Less Competition: With fewer homes on the market, buyers have a better chance of finding the perfect property without facing overwhelming competition.
Motivated Sellers: Many sellers who choose to list during the holidays are often motivated to sell, which could lead to better negotiating positions for buyers.
Festive Viewing Experience: Homes decorated for Christmas can create a warm and inviting atmosphere that helps buyers visualize themselves living there.
End-of-Year Deals: Sellers keen on closing before year’s end could be willing to negotiate on price, presenting potential savings for buyers.
