HOLIDAY HOUSE HUNTING

– 5 REASONS TO BUY IN WINTER – 

This winter has been extra busy for our Buyer clients in Hamilton / Burlington & we want to share the reasons so many are taking advantage of house hunting this Winter!

– 1 –

LESS COMPETITION

Most Buyers are busy with holiday plans, traveling, work demands & the urge to hibernate this time of year. This means there are fewer Buyers out there competing for the homes on the market — putting you at an advantage!

– 2 –

MOTIVATED SELLERS

Similar to the reasons that Buyers are less likely to be out house hunting, Sellers are listing because they need to sell.

If you’re planning on Selling, you’ll wait for that peak Spring market — unless there’s a need to move sooner than later.

This motivation is another advantage for Buying in the winter months!

REALTOR® ATTENTION

When the Winter lull hits, your REALTOR® will have fewer clients meaning they’ll have that much more time to devote to finding you your next home!

– 4 –

HOME SYSTEMS ON HIGH


The cold days allow you to see how a home will cope with the cooler months — are there drafts from the windows or doors, is the furnace working well enough to meet the demands of the home, is there a proper level of humidity, etc.

Systems are under high stress this time of year & you’ll have a better look at what you are buying.

– 5 –

AVOID THE SPRING RUSH


Come February, the Spring market begins to take off and with it, the competition amps up. If you have a home to sell & buy in January with a long closing, you can often maximize your selling price ( by leveraging the Spring Market) while buying a winter deal!
