With the holidays in full swing, now may seem like an unimaginable time to buy a home in Winchester MA.  You’re in the midst of the whirlwind of shopping, holiday parties and concerts and thinking about adding a home search into the mix seems overwhelming.  However, if you’ve had your eye on a few of the homes in the North of Boston area; this holiday season could be the ideal time to buy.

Buying a home is a large financial decision and one that should be well thought out and carefully considered.  Yet, a home is far more than bricks and mortar, but has proven to be a place for so many things that cannot be measured or priced.  It’s not a surprise that songs have been sung and movies dedicated to the importance of being “home for the holidays.”  These are the times when families and friends gather and create those memories that last a lifetime.  It’s important, then to find a home that truly fits your needs and lifestyle. 

Searching for that ideal North of Boston home doesn’t have to be an overwhelming or stressful process, and can be surprisingly simple during the holiday season.  Below are five great reasons that make buying a home in the North of Boston area now irresistible.

1. Motivated Sellers- Sellers dread not being able to sell their homes before the holidays get under way.  They’re very aware that most are not in the market to buy a home until Spring rolls around, which means; they’re motivated.  They know showings of their home will greatly decrease, so any activity on their home is good news.  Oftentimes they’re willing to come down on the price or be flexible with closing dates, and other extras.

2. Lower Prices- With the lack of people searching during the holidays for a home in the North of Boston area; we’ve seen the prices soften.  You can visit my website, www.northofbostonrealestate.com to see a list of current homes for sale in the North of Boston communities!  You’ll notice these many of these homes are priced to sell and are a great deal for buyers.

3. Favorable Mortgage Terms- Mortgage lenders may be willing to lower interest rates or let go of some of their fees in order to gain your business.  With fewer people shopping for homes; they will be experiencing a slower time in their business as well.  Be sure to shop around to get the best possible deal.

4. Less Competition- Many buyers don’t think to take advantage of house hunting during the holidays, so you’re sure to avoid any bidding wars that would occur at a peak point in the Winchester Real Estate market.  This will mean a less stressful home buying process for you!

5. Tax Deduction- Closing before the end of the year can mean you are eligible to deduct the interest component of your first monthly mortgage payment from your taxable income for this year. You may also be able to deduct any money you pay for point to reduce your interest rate.  Of course you’ll want to consult with a Winchester tax advisor to talk over the full details.
