It’s no secret the market slows down once Fall and Winter hit, this is because so many buyers feel the season is over and the market dried up.  But the smart few understand this is their opportunity to save big money.  We can agree it’s not ideal to move in the Winter, but if you come across someone who is willing to sell, there are a few reasons it might be a good time to act.

Less Competition

If you’re a buyer who wants a deal, moving in the winter is a good option to find one.  Less people are looking, which means home prices are going to decline.  A good time to make your move.

 

Motivated Sellers

With less buyers looking in the winter months, it means sellers are not going to receive as many offers.  That means when your offer comes across the table they will be giving it more consideration.

 

Why is The Home for Sale?

Because so many people avoid moving in the winter, when you come across someone who is selling; there is probably a good reason.  There could be a good reason they are selling, such as divorce.  Often times you can get better deals when the seller is under these circumstances.

 

Motivated Professionals

Because it’s slower during this time, you will have more thorough attention from real estate agents and lenders.  Often times finding better deals on their services.

 

The Take Away

It’s not ideal to move on a cold day, but if you can get a good deal on a home, mortgage and real estate service; it may be worth looking into.  The clever buyers never stop looking even when the temperature drops.
