If you’re thinking about buying a home, you might want to do it soon. That’s because some real estate professionals say the fall is a great time to buy. Take a look at some of the possible reasons for this, and then get in touch with a local real estate team that knows the neighborhood you’re interested in well.
Great Deals on Real Estate
Based on information gathered by RealtyTrac, buyers tend to get the best deal on homes in October. More specifically, for the past 15 years, the homes that sold in October had an average sales price of about 2.6% below full market value. This means you may be able to get more for your money if you buy this fall. If you’re considering buying in DC Ranch, check out the homes that sold last year in October so you can get an idea of the types of Scottsdale homes for sale.
Motivated Sellers
Another reason to buy in the fall – and probably another reason for the great housing deals – is that sellers tend to be more motivated to find buyers. Many of them do not want their homes on the market during the holiday season, so they want to sell before the end of November. This allows you the chance to close on your house before the holidays, giving you some time to decorate and even invite family over to see your new home!
Less Competition Among Buyers
Not everyone knows that fall is a great time to buy a Scottsdale home for sale, and that’s part of why it is a good time to house hunt. Basically, there are fewer buyers looking at homes in the fall. This is partly because the days are shorter, so there is less time for real estate agents to show houses. Plus, people are busier due to the start of school and all the homework and afterschool activities that come with it. This is probably why many families with children choose to buy in the summer, before school starts. So, if you happen to have some free time during the fall, why not take advantage of it and use it to look at houses in North Scottsdale?
Plus, when you buy a home in the fall in Scottsdale, there is the added bonus of moving when the weather is cooler! If you’re interested in buying a house in the next few months, or have any questions about the process and what’s available in the area, The Matheson Team would be happy to help. Feel free to call anytime, and get ready for an exciting fall season in Scottsdale’s real estate market!
