The spring and summer months are thought of to be the best time to buy for a typical first-time home buyer. Many people tend to list their homes during the summer months so if you were unsure of when to buy, you would probably agree with that notion. However, when buying a home during the winter months, when there are fewer buyers out there, you may have more room to negotiate the purchase price.
People, who sell during the winter time, usually have a valid reason to do so. A good example would be a job transfer in another state or area. Therefore, they will need to be selling their home at a quicker pace than a summer seller who may be taking their time and waiting for the best offer.
Because there are more homes on the market during the summer months, you will most likely have a limited selection during the winter. But, for the first-time home buyer, you have the opportunity to negotiate on the purchase price and to secure a bigger bang for your buck. In the long run, we would all like to save a little money.
