Tis the season to find your perfect property.

Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice cookies,
and pumpkin spice bagels signal that autumn is truly upon us. While this is great news for pumpkin spice fans, it’s also a great time for homebuyers. Although inventory is still low throughout San Diego, historic trends show that the fall and winter seasons tend to favor buyers over the sellers, making it an ideal time to land your dream home.

Read on to see the three reasons why fall is a great time to buy a home!

Less competition. Many people make major transitions during the summer. For families with children out of school, summer is the ideal time to move, as doing so during the school year can be difficult. Many buyers want to be settled in before the trifecta of fall and winter holidays begin. As a result, once autumn hits, you see motivation to move drop, resulting in fewer homebuyers. In turn, fewer buyers mean fewer offers for sellers, which could lead to more negotiating power.

Eager sellers. For the same reasons that so many people look to purchase homes in the summer, many try to sell homes during the summer. Like buyers, sellers are seeking to make a big transition as well. Eager to move into their new home before the holidays, sellers can also be more motivated during fall, and your ability to negotiate increases.

Agent focus. Many buyers and agents take time off during the holidays. Those of us who are full-time, professional Realtors, who keep their “boots on the ground” all year long to work hard for their clients maintain our laser-beam focus. We are the ones that search tirelessly for the best available homes on the market and provide the best possible service to create an exceptional experience for our clients anytime of year. #JennBlakeRealEstateGroup #DreamTeam
