There’s more to Christmas than opening gifts and attending family gatherings. Our sources — a phoenix realtor and a scottsdale realtor— have just given us the best ‘buying a house tip’ we’ve ever heard: Weeding through home listings before the holiday season and making a purchase on Christmas.

We are as surprised as you are. People are usually busy during the holiday season, and the least thing that they may want to do is to search for phoenix homes for sale in between wrapping gifts. But after hearing their reasons, our agent managed to convince us that Christmas is indeed the best time to buy a house. For one, if a house is on sale on Christmas, then the seller is definitely selling the house on cheap. Our agent also added that most real estate property prices drops in December. And to top it all, out chandler realtor jokingly added that deep pockets are not so deep during Christmas because people really expect to spend big time on Christmas for their loved ones (How about a new house for a Christmas gift?).
