1. The holidays mean thousands of would-be buyers are flying away to be with family and friends. It's the perfect time for you to swoop in while they're away and take advantage of less competition.

2. Sellers would love nothing more than to start the new year with a house sale. Desperate sellers are the best kinds to negotiate with.

3. With the cooler weather, you can spend an entire day house hunting without getting all sweaty. 🎉 It's a win-win-win!
