The Holidays are upon us. We all need to take time to plan trips to our Grammy's or put up the tree, decorate our homes and offices, bake cookies, shop for and wrap presents, get to the post office with those packages, and send out cards to friends, family and business associates. Everyone is overwhelmed with their to-do list right now, including those who really, really want to sell their homes. It's understandable that many sellers put their marketing on hold so, they can enjoy the tree and the season without the inconvenience of keeping things pristine for potential buyers. This means many wonderful properties are taken off of the market until after the first of the year.  This doesn't mean they don't want to sell, they just need a break.
