Expecting A Baby In Summer? Why Spring Is The Best Time To Buy A House

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty 179530

Why Spring Is The Perfect Time To Buy Your Greater Charlotte Home 🏡 If You're Expecting a Baby 👶🤰🍼👣🧸

 

If you're expecting a baby this summer, you're not alone. More babies are born in August than in any other month, with July coming in a close second. That means many growing families are preparing for one of life's biggest changes—and for many, that includes upgrading their living space.

 

Buying a home is a major decision, but timing can make all the difference. Starting your home search now puts you in a great position to settle into a new space before your baby arrives. With the typical homebuying process taking 30 to 60 days from offer to close, beginning the search in spring gives you a clear runway to move, unpack, and nest. And it's also a great way to start building memories as you expect your baby.

 

A new home can offer the space, stability, and environment you're hoping to provide for your new addition. Whether you're looking for a bigger nursery, a quieter neighborhood, or just more room to grow, acting now ensures you’ll be ready when your family expands.

 

So if your due date is circled on the calendar for August or July, now’s the time to take that first step toward a new home—and a fresh chapter.

 

Why Not Make Spring 2025 Your Year To Buy A Greater Charlotte Home Before Baby Arrives—And Welcome Your New Baby To Your New Home?

Good morning Nina Hollander, Broker 

kids are a real motivator for a home purchase and parents will try to get ready by late July so the little ones can transition easily to new friends

Nina Hollander, Broker

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 good morning, Ed. Here in Charlotte area, schools reopen in August...some in early August... so for parents with school aged kids, it's important to be settled in before July ends.

I went through a closing with a woman who was 8 months pregnant. Oh boy, that was tough. Close as early as you can for sure!

Hi Nina,

Getting a house before the baby arrives is a great way to start making memories

Jeffrey Richman that's a great thought, Jeffrey. I think I'll adjust my post to reflect it... thanks!

Hello Nina - talk about a significant upcoming change (and a load of them too but I digress).  Like many parts of nature, the arrival of an addition to one's household makes a significant difference.   

Apr 24, 2025 06:24 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Michael Jacobs LOL, Michael! Many people don't realize how much space babies take up in a home. If it's something expectant parents can afford, they should upgrade before that baby arrives.

As you know Nina Hollander, Broker I sure am hoping to be a Grandfather but there has been no joyous news yet. They have only been married about six months and both are very responsible people so I don't really expect to hear of a baby on this year but maybe in 2027. 😊

Bob "RealMan" Timm hi Bob... they are so young, no reason to rush into starting a family... so expensive these days.

Hi Nina, This is a great motivation to any young couples who are starting a family. Best to get the move done before the baby arrives so they can enjoy the extra space needed.

Nina Hollander, Broker

Barbara Michaluk hi Barbara... hard enough once a baby arrives... can't imagine starting a home search then.

Hello Nina, buying a home and painting the baby room is a great motivation for young couples.  Hope your phone is ringing.

Nina Hollander, Broker

Will Hamm hi Will... I gave up expecting my phone to ring from anything posted in AR a long time ago. And if it's taking a member of the public as long to get through to a post as it does us, I doubt they are hanging around waiting for the page to load.

Nina I guess those cold Winter months, with shorter day and longer nights are perfect times to produce babies.  ☺️☺️☺️

Nina Hollander, Broker

George Souto LOL, George. Can't say that was what was on my mind when I wrote this call to action to buy, but you make a good point.

This is good information to share with prospective home buyers.

Home ownership continues to provide the best pathway to family wealth.

Hi Roy... nothing better than homeownership to build wealth in the long term.

Hi Nina- I agree...why wait! Expecting a baby is a joyful time but it can also be stressful. Why not start now to find your new home and have it ready and waiting for you and the wee one.

Kathy Streib hi Kathy... I just can't imagine someone with a newborn and all that entails going around looking to buy a home.

Big changes happen when a baby comes into the world, and having a stable home can help make those changes feel like less of a burden.

Apr 25, 2025 06:08 AM
Nina Hollander, Broker

Brian England you got that right, Brian! A new baby in a home is so disruptive and people often don't realize not only how much, but how much space babies take up. And so much easier to find and move into that home before baby arrives than after.

Nina, we do help those with expanding families, empty nesters, divorcing families, or deaths.    Having babies is probably the most fun.
