Are Your Listings on Hold for the Holidays? Your Seller May Miss a Sale

A prospective buyer will be coming into town in a couple weeks, yes, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, to shop for a home in Palos Verdes. Today as I scrolled through the MLS and started to assemble a show list of homes, the agent's remarks on one likely candidate stated it would be off the market for the holidays. Geez, and it was one the prospective buyer requested to see.

I will call the listing agent and try to coax her to allow the prospective buyer to tour the home. I'll provide a pre-approval letter and verification of down payment to convince her sellers to make an exception, but I have to wonder if it's wise to miss two months of the year's supply of buyers--especially this year when the market is gathering some end of the year momentum.

My out of town buyer intends to purchase a home while he is in Los Angeles. He is doing his homework and narrowing the selection of homes to a choice few. We will look at eight to twelve homes. Sellers, those are not bad odds. I do know if I can't show it, he won't buy it.

I know the holidays are full of festivities and social calendars are often overloaded, but family and home take on a special glow during this time of year. My buyer is shopping for just the right home for his family, and it might be the home you want to sell.
