Why August Is The Perfect Time To Buy A Home In Connecticut – This is always a struggle, right? “When should I start looking for a new home?” “When should I put my home on the market?” These are common questions that we as real estate agents get often. Finding the right time to buy or sell is like a puzzle. Depending on what you want and need, the advice you receive may be different than someone else. But if you are looking to buy a home in the month of August, here are a few reasons why this is a good idea…
1. The Pace Of The Market – Typically when school is back in session the market seems to slow down a little. This means you won’t be competing with as many buyers and you have less of a chance of being in a multiple offer bidding war. Every year and every market is different so check with your real estate agent to see how hot your market is!
2. Time Of Year – In Connecticut, the temperature isn’t too hot or too cold. There isn’t snow on the ground or down pours to worry about. The weather has less of a change of hindering your house hunting experience!
3. Interest Rates – Right now interest rates are still low. I know you have been listening to this for a few years now but it’s true! Do you remember what interest rates were in the 90’s? They ranged from 7-9%. So when we say interest rates are still low, they truly are!
4. Inventory – There is still plenty of homes to choose from in August. The inventory doesn’t seem to decline until we get closer to the winter months.
