Mid-Month Closing Logjam

Great(?) Minds Think Alike

Realtors know that the end of the month is usually the busiest time for real estate closings.

That's especially true in Spring, and even truer this year because June 30 is the deadline for closing deals struck by April 30 to take advantage of the Buyer tax credits.

So, to avoid delays, savvy Realtors typically advise their clients --at least those who have the option -- to close in the middle of the month (and then, first thing in the morning, to avoid being delayed by closings earlier in the day that have encountered hitches).

So, guess what the busiest day of the Summer is shaping up to be for Edina's Parkwest closing office?

Yup, July 15.
