Why is it better to buy houses and plots in winter?
Any knowledgeable realtor, especially a dog who ate on the sale of suburban real estate, will tell you frankly that winter is a low season. There are practically no deals, no one is interested in summer cottages.
Meanwhile, winter is the best time to buy a suburban property. And now I'll tell you why.
Let's start with what lies on the surface.
- Plots are cheaper in winter. People cannot be remade, and therefore the bulk will postpone the purchase of a summer cottage or house until the spring. Against the background of low demand, sellers are also cutting prices. So take advantage of this!
- The second reason. Also economic. Realtors will not be impudent in winter and they do not take such a large commission for their work: there are few clients, I want to earn at least a little. Use this too!
- Now about the technical reasons. Buying a house in the summer you won't be able to check how well is it insulated. In winter, there is such an opportunity: go to watch in the frost and make sure that the engineering systems are working properly: heating, water supply, drainage.
- Fourth reason - psychological. In winter, having looked after a good house, you will hardly be outstripped by other buyers - demand is lower, which means that there are more chances to make a deposit.
Cons of buying a home in winter
In winter, due to the snow cover, you will not see the relief of the site so well: is there a strong slope, are there holes or hillocks. But this is nothing.
