What's the best time of the year to buy?
Answer:
Try the last three months of the year or the first two months of the new year!
Reason 1. Motivated Sellers - With the Holidays, the new year coming, and a new school year approaching sellers are eager to wrap up deals!
Reason 2. Tax Perks - You absolutely need to consult your accountant but YES it is a thing!
Reason 3. Less Competition - Better Odds of Snagging the home you are looking for without breaking the budget!

Fully agree but I would add pretty much any time during the school year is good! Summer is the most competitive! But a good deal can be available at any time
