Why List Your Home for Sale in The Colony TX during the Holidays or Winter Months

Why List Your Home for Sale in The Colony TX during the Holidays or Winter Months?

by Kim Climer

Many think listing their home for sale during the holidays is a bad idea. Most homes listed are usually set to expire around the first of December and are not re-listed until closer to the spring thinking that no one buys homes during the holidays or even during the winter months. But that's not necessarily true. Listing in December can be beneficial.

1.  Homes show better when decorated for the holidays.

2.  Buyer have more time to look during the holidays.

3.  Some people need to purchase before the end of the year for tax purposes.

4.  Supply is lower during the holidays and therefore gives a greater opportunity to find more motivated  buyers and gain a higher sales price for you!

5.  Supply is at it's lowest during the holidays which means less competition and more money for you!

6.  People looking at homes during the holidays and winter months are more serious buyers.

Good News for those with Foreclosure, Short Sale and Bankruptcy.

Great news for those with Foreclosures, Short Sales and Bankruptcy!


by Kim Climer

As of August 15, 2015, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has shortened the waiting period for those who have had a foreclosure, short sale or bankruptcy to one year. Previously such borrowers would have had to wait up to three years before being eligible for an FHA loan. The new changes do have their own set of rules, such as the borrower must have reestablished good credit over a years time, past bad credit would have to be due to extenuating circumstances and the borrower must complete HUD approved housing counseling. But all in all this is very good news for a lot of people with foreclosures, short sales and bankruptcy on their credit reports.

All of the information regarding the new rules for those with Foreclosure, Short Sales and Bankruptcy can be found in the HUD Mortgagee Letter dated August 15, 2013 at the link below.
