Buying a home in Chapel Hill, Durham and surrounding areas is no different than anywhere else when it comes to winter Holidays– any additional stress easily multiplies during busy holiday activities.  These tips can help:

Home Buying

  • As the year ends, some sellers are more motivated.  To get your best deal, ask your agent for guidance on reasonable pricing before making an offer.  If you think Sellers are going to give away their homes, then your offer may be offensive and do more harm than good in establishing a dialogue towards reaching a price acceptable to everyone.
  • During a home inspection, winter weather can make some areas of the house inaccessbile or impossible to view.  Be sure your agent writes into your contract that for roof, heating and air, and other inspections, if the weather prohibits proper inspection, they can be done later– even if that requires after the contract target date.  You want to be sure that no major defects are obscured.
  • Schedule your moving company well in advance, as holidays off and other factors may offer a narrower scheduling window.
