The Winter months are considered by many the worst time of the year for selling or buying real estate. In reality, November to March do offer a lot of benefits for determined buyers.
By looking to buy during these months you'll deal with sellers who are very committed, and often very serious, to selling, real estate and mortgage professionals are able to give you their absolute attention, and there is considerably less competition for good-value listings. This means you get more for your money with less hassle and much more personalized service.
There's a practical side, too. Viewing property at "the worst time of the year" can tell you a lot about what is going on with a property. Visit a house
- during or right after a hard rainstorm
- during or after a fresh snowfall
- on a very windy day
- on a cold day
to see how its major systems and components are dealing with such conditions. It can tell you also a lot about the land it sits on as well.
