Five reasons why NOW is actually the best time to buy.
Hey there Brevard County: it is beginning to look a LOT like the holidays. Lights are being hung, carols are starting to be heard and homes are still on the market. This holiday season might be a good time for a well-informed buyer to consider purchasing their dream home. Here are 5 reasons why now might be the right time to buy.
Less competition
The holidays come with quite a few commitments. People are hectically running around town, trying to fit things in before the end of the year. This paired with the fact that spring/summer is when most people do their home buying might mean way less competition for you. It is true that there are often few houses on the market, but there are probably still less people looking at your dream home.
Motivated Sellers
With it being the “off season” for buying and selling homes, you might find that sellers are a bit more motivated than they would be in the “on season”. Having few people looking at homes may make a seller more open to negotiations. They may want to sell their home as much as you want to buy one. This could definitely work in your favor.
Higher Mortgage Rates to come.
Mortgage rates change daily, so it is pretty logical to assume that buying now, while the rates are lower, might just save quite a bit of money in the long run.
Motivated Real Estate Agents
This can often be a slower season for real estate agents. So slow that many often take off time during this part of a year. For those who don’t, they might be more invested in the few clients they do work with. This will be beneficial to you in the long run because you may have more one on one time with your agent.
Holiday Spirit
With it being “the most wonderful time of the year”, you might just find that people are in good spirts and are more generous. So this might open you up to more opportunities.
