The Secret to Getting the Best Deal on a Home? Buy in December
Hard to believe we're already in December and clicking towards the end of the year. But if you're in the market for a new home, this might actually be the perfect time to make your move.
Justin Landis, CEO and Realtor of the Justin Landis Group, has some insider insight that might surprise you: December is one of the best times of year to find deals on homes.
Why December Offers the Best Opportunities
"This is when you get the best deals," Justin explains. The reason? Sellers who listed their homes during the traditionally busy spring and summer months—and didn't close a deal in the fall—are often motivated to wrap things up before the new year.
This creates a unique opportunity for buyers who are willing to look past the holiday chaos and focus on finding value.
Are You a Deal Hunter?
If you've been on the fence about buying, waiting for the right opportunity, December might be your moment. Justin's advice is simple: "If you're listening and you are a deal hunter—you're like, 'I would buy a house, but only if it's a good deal'—seriously, give us a call."
The timeline works too. You could put something under contract this week and close before the end of the year, taking advantage of motivated sellers who want to move on from their listing before January.
Looking Ahead to 2025
Of course, not everyone is ready to jump into a purchase before the holidays. If you're planning to start your home buying journey in the new year, timing is still important. Stay tuned—we'll be sharing more about when to kick off your search for maximum success in 2025.
