Reasons to Buy a Home in the Fall

Fall House

Spring and summer is usually the peak season to start house hunting. While the crowds flock to those months to buy and sell, at Hileman Real Estate, we see the true potential that lies in buying a home in the fall. Wondering why you should start your house hunt now? Check out these reasons to buy a home in the fall and contact our experienced agents to get started today!

Less Competition

The fall might be the off-season for businesses in our beach town but it’s not the off-season for real estate! Fewer buyers are searching for homes, especially potential buyers with families who prefer to move during the summer months and not during the school year. 

Tax Breaks

Even buying in December helps you take advantage of tax breaks come April. It’s always worthwhile to consult with financial planners to see what is tax deductible from your fall home purchase. 

Full Attention From Agents

At Hileman Real Estate, all of our clients are our top priority—but it’s true that other times of the year will be busier with more clients to service. From agents to contractors to movers to mortgage companies, and lenders, the fall season slows down and you’ll have full attention to get the service you need from all of the parties involved. 

Sellers are Eager

The beginning of the season may bring sellers who are overconfident in their ability to sell their property right away. In the fall with less demand, sellers may be more open to negotiating and eager to get their house sold. Plus, they probably have a more timely reason for selling, or else they could hold off until the spring.
