Why Fall is An Amazing Time to Buy a Home

Summer has finally cooled off, but fall is a great time to buy. In fact, October is one of the best months of the year to get a deal on your dream home. Here’s why.  

Less Stress 

With the summer selling frenzy finally over, fall buyers can typically take their time looking at more properties, discussing with their partners, and refining a bid with their real estate agent. Because of the reduced competition, buying a home can actually be fun and rewarding, compared to late spring when outbidding is common in Denver.  

Year-End Tax Credits

Getting that purchase completed before year-end may allow you to reduce your taxable earnings. Just some of the tax credits you may be able to earn include closing costs, property taxes, and loan interest. Talk to your real estate agent to find out what costs can be included in your area. 

The Holiday Season

Sellers may want to unload their homes before the holiday hit, which may make them more incentivized to take your offer. This is typically only true if the seller has somewhere to go i.e., they are having success buying themselves. Talk to your real estate agent about the seller’s plans. They might have insight and know whether they are likely to take an offer below listing price. 

Home Improvement Holiday Sales 

Love the home you’re bidding on, but desperately need a new oven or washer/dryer? Appliances are about to go on sale for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas. You can get great deals on just about anything home-related. 

Moving Day a Breeze

When you’re coordinating your move, you don’t have to worry about the torturous summer heat. Instead, pick a balmy 70-degree day to arrange your move.
