I just closed a transaction that went under contract the last few days of November and in fact, WE CLOSED A WEEK EARLY!
Everybody has unique circumstances. In this case, the property was a very unique property, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, on the water, very nicely updated. The problem is there is little demand for a property so small.
The buyer came from driving by the first open house I held on the property the first week in October. He reached out about 3 weeks later. The problem was he had just purchased a home the year before. After we discussed the market as it relates to his current home we determined it is better rent out his current home. The issue, he was in the middle of remodeling.
To make both party's happy, we went under contract at the end of the November but also included a contingency allowing the buyer a way out if he did not have his home under lease by a certain date. He eventually waived the contingency and we settled early allowing the buyer to move boxes from his old house to the new one and finish remodeling.
