When is the best time of year to buy a house?

According to data from the National Association of REALTORS®, the months between April and July are when the most house sales take place. Spring/Summer is typically when you will see an increase of new homes on the market. Also depending on where you live, your house will have better curb appeal in the spring/summer than fall/winter. Some buyers will try to make the most of school breaks and move during that time. All these things contribute to the fact that most house sales take place between April and July. Does that make spring/summer the best time to buy?

My answer is, buy when you are ready! Buying a house should be fun and one of the most exciting times in your life. You don’t want it to be stressful. You want to do it when it is best for you. The market dictates what the right price for a property is and there is rarely a large change within a year.

Work with a seasoned agent who can guide you through the process. I chat with each buyer about what is best for them. What is right for one buyer may not be right for another. Call me and I will take the time to get to know you and what is the best time for YOU to buy a house.
