- Lower Prices
- Historically prices go down in the Fall and Winter markets
- Less Competition
- The highest sales activities occur in Spring and Summer. With less buyers shopping, you have higher chance of competing with buyers on a home
- Serious Sellers
- Sellers that list their property in the Fall are motivated. They may have a job transfer, family need or the property didn’t sell during the summer.
Community activities
- With school and sports back in session after summer vacation, you can see the activities in the community and get a feel for how it is most of the year.
- Inspectors and Handymen have more availability
- As less homes are selling on a weekly basis, it will be easier to schedule an inspector and handyman to check the property
- Tax benefits
- Talk to your CPA about deductions for the purchase
- Less foliage may reveal flaws in house and yard
- As many trees and plants lose their leaves in the Fall, you may be able to see more details on the home and yard that would have been blocked by leaves
