Holiday Hype

Think all those Emerald Coast vacationers are going to be looking for real estate right before and on the Fourth of July? It's not true. Selling here for over fourteen years, I have seen "no phone call" Memorial Days, Independence Days, Easter's, etc. I have seen real estate office secretaries bored to tears, forced to work on a holiday "just in case". Buyers are busy. Having fun. Unpacking. Shopping. Going to the beach. Making plans for their barbecue. Not setting up appointments to see real estate. If they stay in town for a while, yes, they may look. But don't count on them interrupting their vacation with buying real estate. Not often, that is. My historic exception-- I sold three houses on Super Bowl Sunday in Connecticut about seventeen years ago!
