Why Winter is the Best Time to Buy a House: Motivated Sellers
1. Motivation: Homeowners that list their home for sale during the 4th quarter of the year during the Fall and Winter months, and specifically during the Holidays are generally very motivated to sell their home. Usually, it is a busy season for people with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years all taking place. With shopping, parties, baking, wrapping, and holiday gatherings scheduled during this busy season, its a a lot to balance when a homeowner lists their home for sale during these times, since it often means extra cleaning (so it shows at its best), preparation, communication and for these reasons it shows motivation! Why else would someone add to their to do list during the busiest time of the year? They are ready to sell!
Why Winter is the Best Time to Buy a House: Bargain Prices
2. Prices: Bargain pricing is often seen during the Winter time, as fewer buyers are out shopping for homes during the chilly winter nights as apposed to the longer daylight that we experience in the Summer time. Houses seem to sit a bit longer on the market in the Winter, so prices are often reduced and fewer visitors see the home. Homeowners often want to sell before year end and a new tax year begins.
Why Winter is the Best Time to Buy a House: Little Competition
3. Competition: Fewer Home Buyers are out shopping for homes in the Winter, as its a busy time of year for people at work and with kids school schedules, and vacation coverage. With fewer buyers writing offers, home sellers are often more likely to accept an offer or are willing to negotiate pricing.
Why Winter is the Best Time to Buy a House: Seasonal Perspective
4. Perspective: With homes that are listed for sale during the Winter months, you get to see the home from a seasonal perspective. What does the neighborhood look like during the (more) drab winter months? It the home well heated? Is it drafty? Is there a lot of natural light or is artificial light necessary to light up a room. Do the neighbors keep up the winter landscaping? Do they get into the Holidays and decorate the outsides of their homes? Have outdoor utilities (like sprinkler systems) been properly cared for? Is the landscape property graded or will you have rain puddling at your front porch or back step?
