Why Fall is the best season of the year to buy a new house?

Buying a new house isn’t an easy process, it can be full of stress and scary for some people. The days may be getting shorter, but the list of home-shopping benefits is getting long. For a long time, spring and summer were considered the best seasons to buy a brand new house, but surprise! Fall is actually not only a great time, it might also be the best season to find your dream house. Here are the top 5 reasons:

1. Old Inventory could mean better deals: Sellers tend to put their homes on the market during spring and the beginning of summer, often listing their homes too high right out of the gate. This could result in price reductions throughout the spring and summer months.

2.
Less Competition:  Families who want to be in a new home by the beginning of the school season are no longer shopping at this point. That translates into less competition and more opportunities for buyers.

3.
Sellers are looking to close all deals by the end of the year: Buying a home is an investment with tax consequences, and home seller may want to take advantage of a gain or loss during this tax year, so you might find homeowners looking to make deals, so they can close before December 31.

4.
The holidays around the corner motivates sellers to offer better deals. As the Holidays approach, sellers are motivated to close and move as many properties as possible. if a home has not sold by November, the seller is likely motivated to be done with the disruptions caused by listing a home for sale.

5.
Home Improvement bargains: Once you close on that home you found in the fall, you may want to upgrade your appliances. Luckily, December is when major appliances, refrigerators, stoves, washers, and dryers are at their very cheapest, according to Consumer Reports. It’s also the best time of year to buy cookware and TVs.
