Shopping for Homes in Every Season

Shopping for Homes in Every Season
2
There is much debate as to whether any
particular season is better for purchasing a home.
3
Potential buyers in the market for downtown
condos might want keep a couple of things in mind
as they browse the tempting array of condos
currently for sale throughout the seasons.
4
Generally, the housing market wakes up as winter
ends and along with it the annual sales and
inventory lows of December and January.
5
People start looking seriously in throughout the
end of winter and early spring, with peaks of
search activity in March and April, slight dips
in May and peaks in June and July.
6
Winter
7
For buyers, winter can be a great month to
purchase a new home. During the holiday season,
far fewer people are out looking, giving you a
better chance to snag one of the condos of your
dreams.
8
With less buyers to deal with, realtors can be
more flexible with their schedules and have the
time to really get to know you and understand
exactly what youre looking for.
9
Incredibly, the best day of the year to buy a
home is actually Christmas day sellers are more
inclined to be feeling generous, fewer other
buyers are out looking and home prices are at
their 12-month December low.
10
Spring
11
In spring, flowers push up towards the sun and
the housing market blooms with scores of new
listings and for- sale signs.
12
This could be the perfect time to scout around
for condos. Everyone is looking for a deal, and
the market is flooded with inventory, more than
at any other time of year.
13
Spring brings a lot of activity because both
buyers and realtors are glad to be back out after
the long winter, and a purchase in spring can
mean a timely move after school is over.
14
Amazingly, Easter Sunday is the second best day
of the year to buy a house.
15
However, spring isnt always the best month for
buyers, as the competition for properties is
high, meaning multiple offers may cause you to
pay more than you planned for a house.
16
Summer
17
The housing market continues to be strong
throughout the summer, with listings tailing off
a bit towards the end of the season.
18
Often, people who are relocating want to be sure
theyve sealed the deal and closed on the home in
time to move and get their kids settled before
starting a new school in September.
19
Theres plenty of inventory, but, as in spring,
prices tend to be higher and theres lots of
competition for desirable properties, which could
mean a stressful bidding war.
20
Homes look their summer time best, with colorful
shrubs and flowers and plenty of friendly
neighborhood bustle.
21
Fall
22
Autumn brings falling leaves and falling
inventory, particularly toward late November, but
early fall is the busiest season next to
springtime for home sales.
23
Buyers are often looking toward tempting autumnal
benefits. Property taxes and mortgage interest
are both deductible from gross income, providing
tempting year-end tax breaks, and the seasons
temperate weather is perfect for moving.
24
Many realtors have found that autumns buyers and
sellers tend to be more serious and motivated,
unlike the window shoppers of spring.
25
Whatever season brings you within reach of your
ideal home, always remember to stick to your
budget and only make an offer that you can
reasonably afford.
26
Getting prequalified for a mortgage will enable
you to act quickly if you find the property of
your dreams.
