Four Reasons to Buy Your Shore Home In Winter
January 21st 2019
Are you waiting for Spring/Summer to buy your new Shore home? Do you know the advantages of buying in Winter?
1. Sellers are often more negotiable in winter!
Each case is different, but many sellers only want to sell in Fall/Winter, then withdraw the listing in Spring to use it for rental income. Additionally, because there are less buyers looking in Winter, less competition means fewer offers.
2. Properties are a breeze to see!
In Winter, most properties are vacant and easily to see in person at a day and time that works for you. In Summer, many are rented and can only be seen during changeover, Saturday 10am-12pm! No traffic and plenty of parking make seeing properties in Winter a snap.
3. Rentals are often not yet booked!
Beginning in Winter, properties start getting booked with rentals (assuming the owner rents). Most of the time those rentals will transfer with the sale of the property. But if you buy the home before it's booked up, you are free and clear to rent yourself or enjoy yourself as you see fit.
4. Be ready for Spring/Summer!
Buying in Winter will ensure you have the time to find your home, purchase it, and get it just how you want it to enjoy Spring/Summer. The same goes if it's an investment. Buying in Winter will give you time to market and rent your property before most tenants have already found their Shore rentals.
BONUS REASON: Interest rates are STILL near historic lows! Rates today are around 4.5% while the average rates from 1972-2018 were around 8.9%! With rates expected to rise in 2019, why wait?
