As the last birds disappear towards warmer climates, as the snow begins to fall, and the holidays approach, most people who are looking to buy or sell a home don’t think of this as the ideal season.

However, there are many reasons why it is a good time to buy or sell a property in the winter, which we will go into here, starting with Selling, and then moving on to Buying.

Selling a Home in the Winter

• Most people think it isn’t a good time to sell, so fewer people list. This means you will have less competition.
• Although you may have fewer people looking at your home, there will be more serious buyers. Buyers who decide to look for a home in the winter months are committed because they typically “need” to find a new home:
• A lot of people want to get their homes closed before the tax year is done, so if they have been looking, they may want to get things wrapped up before the end of December.
