I was showing property on Wednesday afternoon, and several other agents in my office were showing houses to their clients on Wednesday evening (Thanksgiving eve). 

We began negotiating a contract on this affordable, downtown property via fax, e-mail and telephone on Wednesday, and negotiations continued through Thanksgiving, towards what should be a ratified contract by this evening.

So, it seems, finding and buying that perfect house isn't something people put on the back burner for the holidays.  Though to the best of my knowledge there probably weren't too many showings yesterday on Thanksgiving Day --- though that could have worked out well . . . if we had been invited in for a meal!  :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
