Conventional real estate wisdom has often advised buyers and sellers that once Thanksgiving comes around, they might as well pack it in, hunker down and wait till they've doled out all their New Year's smooches to get serious about their real estate transactions. But there are some hidden benefits to taking a different approach and actually doubling down on your house hunt right now, while the holiday season is in full swing. Lower competition for your dream home.   This means their are fewer competitors for your dream home and less chance of multiple offers. MOTIVATED Sellers . There are fewer sellers during the off season, and those who are active tend to be highly motivated to sell. This means they are ready to entertain YOUR offer.
