Buying House During Off Season Fall And Winter Markets

This BLOG On Buying House During Off-Season Fall And Winter Markets Was Written By Alex Carlucci of Gustan Cho Associates

You might have heard that there is not much of a supply of homes in the $100,000 to $300,000 range.

This has caused a frenzy when a house in this price range comes available
There are always multiple offers and the house often sells for more than asking price
This is done with what is called highest and best offer due tomorrow
Highest and best is for you to guess what everybody else is offering and be a little bit higher
This has been very frustrating for all buyers

In this article, we will cover and discuss the advantages of buying a house during the off-season fall market.

Advantages Of Buying House During Winter

The good news is summer is almost over and there are many advantages to buying a house in the fall.

First rates tend to drop in the fall
Most of the buyers are done or tired from trying
Sellers may be more desperate to sell getting the buyers lower prices
There is more inventory in buying a house during offseason
Sellers are often more willing to negotiate when they are selling their home during offseason

Mortgage Rates With Buying House During Off-Season

Rates drop for many reasons in the fall.

One of the reasons is the demand for the rates have dropped due to the busy period being over
Second is the fiscal year is over in October in the business world
Investors tend to sell their stock either to mark the profits for the year
Or mark the losses to deduct on their tax returns
In the past when the stock market falls rates get better because investors take their money out of stocks and put it into bonds
When investors buy bonds that drives interest rates down

Buying House For Buyers With Families

Buyers are tired or done tying to buy is because a lot of purchases are made by families with children:

They want to close by the beginning of the school year
This is so the kids can start school at the beginning of the school year versus in the middle of the school year
Or they have been so discouraged by losing out on the bidding wars during the busy spring and summer housing markets

So now that the buyers are tired or done the seller’s market will now turn into a buyers market. So sellers will sell for less than asking. So for these 3 reasons it may be a perfect time for you to buy your dream home at a reasonable price. So go shopping.

It is impossible to know everything due to the complexity and constant changing of rules, but I try my hardest to stay on top of this crazy business that I call my career.
