Buy a Home in the Spring

Buy a home in the spring

If you have been looking for the right time to buy a home of your own, now is the time to prepare to buy a home this Spring. This article highlights a few reasons to buy a home in the Spring and begin planning now.

1. The market is not too hot and not too cold, just warming up.

Home Listings and Competition

Winter months in the housing market usually have the lowest inventory of homes. However, as Spring starts to bloom more and more listings appear on the market. On the other side of Spring, the Summer market has the most listings. Summer also has the most competition from other buyers, which can drive prices up.

The Spring may be “just right” with a new inventory of homes appearing on the market before the rush of Summer buyers join the house hunt.

Time on the Market

The advantage of buying before the Summer rush could mean finding a good deal on a home that hasn’t sold during the winter months. Sellers may also be motivated to sell before the chaotic Summer months begin. Sellers who are motivated by time are more likely to negotiate the purchase contract.
