You’re supposed to be able to deck the halls and have a holly jolly Christmas, but little did you know that your home was going to sell and it would be time to pack up and move at the same time. Moving any other time of the year can be stressful, but moving during the holidays can be even more so, along with a bit emotional as well. We know that it can be challenging, but we also know what a huge success it is for you to sell your home. The MacGuire Team has a few tips to help make closing during the holidays a little easier for you and your family. 1. Be Patient The holidays are already a busy time for most people, and if you’ll be selling your home, it will make it even more busy for you. Unfortunately, it can be a little more challenging to get things finished in your time frame during the busy winter months. So from the home inspections to the title companies, show a little patience and know that they really do want to help you succeed. Want to show some extra love? Show you

Here are a few ways you can determine whether buying a home is the best financial decision for your family. You Have 30% Saved When planning to buy a home, you want to have enough money saved up to afford your 20% downpayment and 10% closing and moving costs.
