Best time to buy a home

The worst time to buy a home is the spring time. Why? Because that is when competition is greatest to purchase a home. Of course for a seller this can be a very good thing because everyone is out to buy a home. People with kids want to move before the new school year starts and everyone wants to buy and sell. Inventory is flooded as this is the peak of home sales every year in every market in the country. If you are going to buy though in the spring consider buying a home right around the Easter holiday. Many people are travelling and turn that into a long weekend or even a spring break week. If you are around and time it right Easter weekend would be the perfect time to purchase a home. Monday offers will come on a home but you just might beat the crowds with a well timed, well priced offer. If you get a good experienced agent run this idea past them but please listen to them on the pricing of the offer. We are seeing multiple contracts on well prices homes, the most I have seen this year is 22 and I hadn't seen that for several years. Getting five or ten thousand dollars off the price is just a few dollars a month. Don't miss out if you truly love the home is all I am saying.



The best time to buy a home is December, the closer to Christmas the better. Almost no one is out buying this time of the year because of the holidays and travelling. Also if someone has their home listed during this month you know they are serious about selling. People are overall in a better mood, just the Christmas spirit you know? They may be more inclined to take a slightly lower offer this time of the year. My advice is the same as Easter weekend, get out there Christmas weekend and start writing those offers. Home prices are always at the bottom of the floor again in every market every year during December. Hope this helps and please let me know if you have any questions. I know several good realtors who can answer your questions and help you get the home of your dreams.
