Buy By Christmas
Yes, you can buy well, with limited competition - BUT you need to be prepared
The best time of the year is coming up very, very soon. The last 2 weeks before Christmas can be some of the best time to buy real estate here in NZ. I have talked about this for the past 3-4 years, with only 1 or 2 people every January coming back to say they listened, took action, and scored a fantastic deal.
Let me walk you through how and why this works so well.
5 reasons why the 2 weeks before Christmas is the BEST time to buy.
✅ The majority of property buyers have checked out. They are planning their holiday and the Christmas dinner. So much less competition for you.
✅ Vendors are desperate to get an offer before Christmas (to most people an offer is as good as sold - but we know better).
✅ Agents are about to head away to the beach, and 1 last contract looks good for their stats.
✅ With lawyers shutting down over the holidays, it gives you a lot more 'non working days' on your contract, to get your Due Diligence sorted
But you need to get moving NOW.
Here are the 3 steps you need to take right away.
- Decide what type of deal you need. Location, size, age, materials, reno, DIY. Long term hold with positive cashflow? Quick flip? Be specific with your criteria - otherwise every deal looks good, and you won't pick any.
- See a mortgage advisor this week. Getting finance approved is an important part to any investing strategy. This takes longer than you think. Start now.
- Get looking at all properties that fit your criteria. You need to actively looking now, leading you up to putting in offers in the 2 weeks before Christmas.
Take advantage of this great buying window. Action takers are the same people we look at and think 'oh you just got lucky' - no they saw an opportunity (or read about it here) and did something about it.
