The holidays are not exactly known as the ideal time of year for heavy San Diego real estate sales. It’s true, many people are usually preoccupied with buying gifts, traveling and a plethora other things that may keep them from shopping for a new home.

But the notion that it is a bad idea to place or keep your house on sale during the winter months is very misguided, and any real estate agent will tell you that homes do sell during the holidays, you just have to target the right buyers.
