4 Reasons Why Spring Time is Such a Great Time to Buy a Home

Spring is widely regarded as the best time of the year to buy a new home. Buyers will find that the real estate market is in full swing by Spring as lots of sellers look to take advantage of the busiest period of the year for real estate, so if you are in the market for a new property now is the best time get started.

While you will find more buyers to compete with, its hard to deny that Spring is a great time to buy a home. Here are 4 reasons why:

More Listings
Spring is known as the best time to sell property, so as a buyer you have access to more listings than at any time of the year. Yes, there is more competition and you need to act fast for those amazing listings, yet the massive selection of property listings makes finding the perfect home so much easier.

Come April, there are more houses on the market than at any other time, with sellers usually taking advantage of improving weather conditions to start the selling process. Plus, hearing about how competitive Spring can get for bidding wars motivates a lot of sellers to wait until now to list their property.

Longer Days and Better Weather
Two things that make Spring better for buying a home are surprisingly simple – the days are longer and the weather is better.
The longer days are ideal for a buyer, giving more time after work to search for property, which is a big bonus considering all the time and effort you put into the searching process – you often get a better feel for how a property looks in full daylight.

Warmer weather and less rain always make looking for a house much easier too, giving you more time in the day to visit open houses and see what options are out there.

Perfect Timing for Families
Moving homes is difficult at the best of times, so when you add children into the process it becomes even more challenging. The main issue is getting everything settled before school starts in the Fall, while also getting a bit of down time after moving in to climatize with your new surroundings and recover form the stress of moving homes.

Spring is the perfect time for families moving homes, as it gives parents enough time during the Summer to get their kids settled before the start of the school year. Any families looking to be moved into a new home for Summer will need to start looking in early Spring!

Buyers Have More Cash
Winter is now well in the rear-view mirror, so buyers tend to have recovered from Christmas spending and should have more income to put towards buying a home. Now, it may not get much in terms of buying power but can make a difference when dealing with attorney, real estate, and escrow fees.
