Autumn is the Best Time to Buy Real Estate

The spring time is traditionally the busiest time of year in the real estate market as buyers and sellers prepare to make changes in the warmer months. Savvy buyers know that some of the best values can be found in the autumn when motivated sellers are willing to sell at a discount rather than holding a property through the winter. The savings can be substantial.
Some properties have been on the market for an extended period of time because they are overpriced or may have some defect that makes their sale difficult. The key for a buyer is having an experienced broker who will be able to sort through the inventory and make analytical recommendations about which properties to see. I often start to make a list of my own in the late summer of properties that I follow through the fall. These properties fall into all price ranges.
