Yet, because fewer homebuyers are in the market now, sellers may f have more holiday spirit about negotiating their price. Home „ prices listed for seasonal variations are traditionally among the lowest of the year in December; most price in- , creases occur during the spring ' and summer Another aspect to this slow season for home sales is that real estate agents have extra ^^time to spend with potential buyers. Competition for choice homes is less of a factor, so buyers generally can go shop­ ping with the peace of mind that a house they are considering may not be snatched from under them while they think over the purchase. If you have vacation time to take before the end of the year, why not use it for house hunting?
