While we have entered the first few weeks of spring, 2019, we will probably have a few more weeks of winter-like weather before clear skies, singing robins and sunshine that are here to stay.
Typically, the spring buying season is the busiest and the best in inventory, and it typically ranges from mid-spring to early summer. Why wait? Here are the reasons you should not wait, if you are wanting to purchase a home!
Less Competition: A lack of active buyers keeps the competition to a minimum.
Better Prices: Less demand means a better price for you. Today’s sellers are ready to make a deal.
Less Time Negotiating: Without multiple offers, sellers are willing to make the deal happen, with less reluctance and haggle.
Quick Closing and More Personal Attention: With fewer applications, the mortgage processing moves more efficiently and quickly, for a smooth and speedy closing.
Faster Moving: Booking a quality mover should be easier in the off-season. There may even be moving coupons, deals and bartering through getting several quotes.
Don’t Wait for the Perfect Home: Keep your list of “must have” and “would like to have” separate. Be flexible if the location and the condition, along with a good floor plan could work for you.
Always Get a Home Inspection: A inspection might uncover hidden defects or potential future issues. It might also reinforce that you have chosen well.
Know Your Limits: Never set yourself up to be house poor. Calculate your monthly expenses and spending habits to assure for a happily-ever-after in your new home.
