Even in a slow market, real estate is bought and sold every day of the week, even Christmas Day.
Don't believe me?
Check out 3253 Holmes Avenue South, a fourplex just east of Lake Calhoun that hit the market this morning (Christmas Eve):

According to the listing agent, the property needs about $100k in various capital improvements, including new windows and boilers. But it's still a screaming bargain, given the proximity to Lake Calhoun, the assessed tax value (just under $500k), and potential upside.
The agent said there's a line 8 deep to see the property tomorrow (she's in FL today, and can't show it till then), and that she's already received multiple offers, sight unseen. And I don't doubt her!
Best guess is that it goes as soon as the bank contact is available, presumably Friday, for well over asking price.
P.S.: I'd love to have an investor for this, but I don’t, at least at the moment. If you see this post before 5 p.m. on Christmas day and are interested . . Call me! I'd be happy to show you the property, then head straight back to my office to write an offer.
