Southland On-Your-Lot Home Builders GA: The Benefits of Buying a Home in Winter

Marietta, GA, November 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- As fall gradually gives way to winter, home buyers and sellers traditionally start packing in their home buying and selling endeavors until spring's warmer weather returns. After all, winter can be an inconvenient time for families to shop for or sell a home. The kids are back in school, the holidays are fast-approaching, and let's face it; it is downright cold out there. But, according to Southland on-your-lot builders GA, winter can be a great time to start shopping for a new home especially for bargain hunters.

Winter is Great for Deal-Seekers
Winter offers several benefits to home buyers that the warmer seasons just can't compete with. For starters, and for the very reasons listed above, there are fewer people looking to buy homes in the winter months. This means less competition, fewer competing offers and more personalized attention from realtors. This also means fewer loan applications and as a result, quicker loan approvals.

In addition, families usually don't want to deal with selling their homes in winter. They don't want to uproot their kids from school and most of all, they're settling in for the winter. This might result in fewer homes on the market, but as one will see, that also works to the deal-seeker's benefit.

Fewer Available Homes = Greater Deal Potential
At first glance, having fewer homes to choose from might leave you thinking that your options are limited and that competition would be greater for those homes that are for sale. But in reality, with fewer people shopping for homes in the winter, your selection can actually be larger than you think. The savvy shopper knows that if a home is for sale during the winter months, then the seller is serious, motivated and more likely to negotiate.

With spring several months away, a seller who has their home listed for sale in the winter is not usually going to want to wait until spring rolls around to unload their property. This makes winter the perfect time to grab a great piece of real estate below market value.
