Over the past 4 years, the November closings were very similar to the January closings, and this year we experienced the same trend. With the holidays approaching, we anticipate more buyers to be utilizing their vacation time to visit houses for sale and begin the process of making offers that will reflect in the 2009 closings. Now is a great opportunity to take advantage of the 2008 Federal Government's $7500 tax benefit for first time home buyers." said Diane Johnson, 2009 President of the Williamson County Association of REALTORS®.
