According to marketing research by leading Real Estate Firms in Canada the best day of the year to buy a home is the Christmas Day; however,
a very few people are actually looking to buy one, but buying on Christmas Day is a smart move. If you scout out the homes on which you'd like to make offers a few days before Christmas, you'll be better positioned. Why is Christmas Day so attractive?
Of course, the key is to find a real estate agent who will a) work on Christmas and b) be aggressive enough to worm her way into the seller's home without batting an eyelash. Those agents are out there.
There is nothing like a spring real estate market. Offers fly through FAXes and emails and cell phones ring constantly. Everybody wants a deal, and everybody wants to sell. Typically the marketplace is flooded with inventory. There is more on the market in the spring than any other time of the year.

- People are in good moods, celebrating, opening presents, enjoying family.
- People are more inclined to be generous, even if it means coming down on the price. "Hey, it's Christmas, hon; just sign it."
- Few buyers are out looking at homes during Christmas week, so the chance of multiple offers or any competition whatsoever is very low.
- Home prices are at a 12-month low in December.
- If a person has their home on the market over Christmas, that person is definitely serious about negotiating and selling that home. You can bet on it. Better yet, why not write an offer?
