Hi everyone. This is your Tampa Bay Realtor Lance Mohr and in this video I want to talk

about when is a good time to buy a home in 2018 or pretty much any year for that

matter. I want to do this video because I get a lot of buyers it asked me when's a

good time to buy a home is the summer a good time to buy a home is spring a good

time to buy a home is the winner a good time to buy a home and first off let me

say this if it's a seller's market it's always a good time to buy a home because

the prices are just going up but that's not what I'm going to talk about I want

to basically go through the months of the year and tell you the best time to

buy a home now it's predominantly where I am right now in December a really good

time to buy a home because if you go from December 20th around January 10th

15th that's the slowest time of the year I've personally bought in a home

Christmas Eve because I know how slow it is during that time period sellers are

not getting as many showings they're not getting as many offers the but they're

not accepting as many offers so it's just a really good time to buy now if

you look at the statistics there's always a lot of home sales in December

because builders and buyers are making a push builders want to get the homes off

the market off the up their books before the 1st of January and buyers want to

get get the home sold so they could have their so they can have their exemption

so anyhow you want it you want to look at it is that sold it doesn't apply to

what's going on in the market so January 15th is usually when it starts picking

up buyer starting to think about looking at homes I think before that they just

have the holiday hangovers so they start thinking about it by February most most

of them are out there looking and the market starts to pick up by March it's

in full swing March is almost unfortunately every single year the

busiest time of the year I have because people start looking to buy homes for

the summer so March is a really good mud April's a really good

month but around the April 15th the tax time maybe April 15th the week before

that ten days before that it starts to slow down if you're in a price range of

the median price and below if it's in the higher price range the luxury price

range really doesn't have a effect and then we go into May which is a really

good month it's always a really good month June is slow our June is slow it's

really because our school lets out in May so it happens about a week before

school lets out maybe four days until around two weeks after the school's

letting out it's really slow because grandparents relatives are coming in for

graduations and people are going away after graduation so it's pretty slow and

then you have the middle of June it really starts to pick up again July is a

really busy month August overall is a really busy month that will slow down

about a week before school going back in just because everybody's getting ready

for school and then it will start to pick up again in September is a pretty

good month it's usually pretty good and then October you start to see things

really slow down in October when you start getting a little closer to the end

of October near Halloween things start really slowing down in the November's

really slow because daylight savings times happen and people just don't want

to look at homes when it's dark they're pretty much looking at homes on the

weekend so it's going to be pretty slow plus they have family members coming in

for the holiday etc and then December's a very slow month again when you get

closer to Christmas and I had a client that listed their home and the beginning

December and the first fire that walked in the home bought it so it does happen

but overall December is really slow and the closer you get to Christmas I would

say probably be 18th the 20th it's just it's almost dead there's like nothing

goes on so it's just very slow so those are good times to buy a home I purchased

a home I wrote a contract once with a builder the

December 24th I it was a good deal I knew no one else was going to do it so I

did it bought the home so it's a really good time right now

to get out there and buy homes because when it gets busy you're just going to

be competing as a buyer with other buyers and if it is a seller's market

you're in whether you're in Tampa which is a seller's market which means a low

inventory prices are increasing if you're in the seller's market prices are

going up because there is low inventory so I hope this helps you if you have any
