Were you too caught up in vacations, weddings, and family time this summer to search for a house? Maybe the hot summer market left you unable to land your dream home. With fall right around the corner, now is a great time for buyers to resume their home search.

Less Pressure
House hunters who begin shopping for houses in spring or summer can easily become overwhelmed by the speed of sales. Buyers who are searching in fall and even winter months often experience less pressure and more selection. As the season slows down a bit realtors have more time to work with you.
Deals
Is there a house you like that has been on the marketing all summer? If it is still listed without an “under contract” update now could be time to make an offer. After this summer’s strong market, if a house is still sitting on the market, sellers should be willing to negotiate.
Condition
Buying a home in autumn gives you a chance to see the true condition of the house. On bright beautiful summer days it is often hard to see how a house holds up to inclement weather. Summer can hide things like leaves piled up in the gutter or cold rooms. Use the autumn months to see if the house really is in immaculate condition.
Plan Ahead
Home improvement stores and contractors usually have sales or discounts during the fall season. If you purchase a home that needs remodeling, or just updates, you will likely save money on these projects by doing them in the fall. The more work you do the more you will save.
Regardless of the season, working with a real estate professional is a benefit to your home search.
