Making the decision to buy your dream home is exciting. Taking that first step will be the most rewarding decision you've ever made.
Recent studies have shown that nowadays, being a homeowner is considered a status symbol and one of the top signs of success. Knowing you have reached financial stability by owning your own property.
Don't let winter being around the corner dampen your excitement. It is always the right time to invest in property.
There is no doubt that winter is a quiet time for real estate but this can work in your favor as a buyer.
As a smart future homeowner, you would be on the lookout and seek the best possible price for your investment. During winter when the market for property sales is slow, you would be more likely to get a lower price accepted for your offer. With less competition, you will have ample time to make the right decision and sellers will be more motivated to accept a lower offer.
Financial institutions will also be more willing to consider a lower interest rate during the slow winter months. The fact that buyers are daring enough to brave the winter weather to view homes for sale suggests they are serious buyers and their offer should be considered.
Buying in winter will give you more negotiation power.
Moving is also cheaper in winter as most movers offer discounted prices, seeing it is a quiet time of the year.
Inspecting a home during winter will better determine the level of efficiency or inefficiency exhibited under cold and wet conditions. It will also show if the house is capable of warming up and which rooms receive sunlight or are dark and unwelcoming in winter.
Remember that you will spend the next phase of your life in this home. It must be a dream come true not a nightmare.
Be informed. Make the best choice.
