There are actually many reasons to buy your next home during Winter. I know it sounds a little crazy, but hear me out!
Here are the top 3 reasons.
Less Competition
With housing inventory at a devastatingly low number you need to take advantage of any competitive edge that you can possibly get. While most hopeful homebuyers will be snuggled up and hiding away from Winter, you can be pounding the pavement and having your pick of the litter.
Winter Readiness
What a great way to find out a lot about your potential new home. Are there any cold spots or drafts? Do the windows need to be replaced? Is there a ton of insulation missing in the attic? Is the furnace working properly? A lot of these questions can be answered quite simply by just being inside of the house. You’ll know exactly what you’re in for in the season where we need our home to be our shelter.
Services are less expensive and easier to book
Need to book a moving company in less than a week? Well you probably can, and you will probably have a choice between multiple companies competing for your business. You will have more choice, and far more competitive rates for lots of service providers during Winter.
These 3 reasons are really just the tip of the iceberg, no pun intended. Okay, maybe it was kind of intentional, but the point is valid.
If you are committed to buying a house, Winter just might be the right time for you.
