Less Market Activity:<\/strong> Less activity means fewer competing buyers.<br \/>\n<strong>2. Motivated Sellers:<\/strong> Those who have not sold during the peak season are more likely to welcome offers.<br \/>\n<strong>3. Potential Tax Advantages:<\/strong> Home buyers who close before the end of the year could receive a tax write off or be eligible for tax credits, such as deductions for home mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and PMI premiums.<br \/>\n<strong>4. Better Interest Rates:<\/strong> Historically, interest rates tend to be lower during the holidays\u2014probably because mortgage companies need to pep up sleepy demand.<br \/>\n<strong>5. Faster Closings:<\/strong> Although lenders, brokers, and inspectors may be thinking it\u2019s time to take a vacation, when business does appear, they clear the decks and move!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 20px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-top: 2em;\">If you need help buying or selling a home give Ashley Cusack a call at 305.798.8665, or visit her website at: <a title=\"Luxury Miami Real Estate\" href=\"http:\/\/ashleycusack.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Luxury Miami Real Estate<\/a><\/div>\n<p><img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/ashleycusack.com\/images\/ac-tag.png\" alt=\"Luxury Miami Real Estate\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>My focused dedication as a realtor in my home town of Miami for over 25 years, consistently puts me at the top of my field.
