January Buyers Could Save Thousands

You may not want to put your moving plans into hibernation mode this winter, because the savings this time of year are real. LendingTree found January buyers paid about $23k less than May buyers for the same size home. And that’s largely because the price per square foot drops off in the winter due to less buyer competition. That’s only one of the perks of buying now versus waiting until the busier spring season. Curious what acting now could save you in our market? Let’s talk.
