Year after year we run into this situation and have found that many buyers are very happy that they purchased a home in the winter. Here are the reasons: They agree to terms with a seller in January or February and then close about 60 days later, a perfect time to start working on their new home’s interior and exterior. They can then enjoy the home for the summer. Shopping for a home in the winter is done with less competition from other buyers and there is usually a good selection of properties on the market. It is an easier time to tour homes and put together the right deal with not as much pressure. The spring and summer months have many more buyers looking for and putting offers in on homes. Interest rates are historically lower in the winter/pre-spring time frame. Our buyers have taken advantage of the great rates and saved thousands of dollars over the life of the loan AND were comfortable with the rate and payment they secured.
