While spring and summer months tend to be the busiest seasons to buy real estate, becoming a homeowner during the off-season has perks.
Motivated Sellers
While inventory is still low in the housing market, real estate agents tend to encourage sellers to put their homes on the market during spring or summer when demand tends to be highest. If a home is listed in the colder months, it could mean there is urgency – like a job relocation or life change. That might mean more room for price negotiations.
Less Competition
Many potential buyers take a break during the winter months, and then start their search again in next year's home buying season. For off-season home hunters that means less competition.
Look before you leap
With all this said, buying a home shouldn't be based on the weather.
It's a major financial decision, and understanding the total cost of monthly payments is important. So before you find your wishlist home, calculate how much you can afford. | | | |  | | | | | | | | Today's top stories | | | | | | | | Here's why we might get fewer markdowns this shopping season | | | | Retail giants are revisiting their stocking practices to align more closely with consumer trends.
