For the Buyers out there, keep your finger on the pulse. You’ll have less competition over the holidays, and though you’ll have less inventory to choose from, you only need to see the condo you’ve been looking for.

For the Seller’s out there, a nice presentation of your home is especially important, as well as fixing some of the small issues Buyers may notice. Spend some time over the holidays planning to do some minor renovations in your home and cleaning some cluttering. You want to remove all of the issues Buyers may have with the unit in order to pull the highest price possible.
