Now is the Time to Buy a New Home

Buy a new home

Summer is the time to buy a new home in Brooklyn, and here are 6 great reasons to buy one now.

When it’s summertime, there’s more sunshine, hotter temperatures, and a lot more homes for sale in Brooklyn. That’s because home buying and selling increases in the spring and summer. But that’s only one reason why you should buy a new home now. Here are a few more very valid reasons to encourage you to buy a new home this summer.

More Reasons to Buy a New Home this Summer

  1. More homes on the market mean more choices and options for you, the buyer

There are more homes for sale in the summer, so there are lots more with favorable options to choose from. It’s more likely you’ll be able to buy a new home with the floor plan you’ve been dreaming of in the perfect neighborhood. And when there are more homes for sale you can confidently negotiate on the price knowing that if you must walk away, there will be another home for sale to consider purchasing, too. That’s a great feeling!

  1. Summer weather makes it easier to envision what it will be like to live in your new home

In addition to longer days, trees, bushes, and flowers in full bloom, the neighborhood is more active. Not only will you be able to see the new yard’s potential, you’ll get a better feel for the community and your new neighbors. Summer brings adults and kids out and about.

While appreciating the positives of a new place, pay attention to what lurks beyond them. Take notice of neighborhood eyesores, giant cell phone towers, foundation issues, peeling roof tiles, and problems that might be blocked by foliage.

Don’t forget to check how well the air conditioning works, open windows to see how well they work or if they will even open at all. Feel free to turn faucets inside and outside on and off to see how they work. Yes, checking these things is the job of a home inspector, but it never hurts to give yourself a little peace of mind by checking them yourself.

  1. Kids are not in school and can share their opinion

When school is out for the summer, your kids are usually more available to approve of or offer their worthy opinions on a new home. Plus, moving into a new place while the kids are out of school is easier on them.

Also, sellers who have school-aged children will be motivated to sell and get settled before their kids start a new school year. They could be more open to negotiating on the price of their home.

  1. It’s not the season that determines the asking price

Some believe that homes sell for higher asking prices in the summer than they do in the winter. But this just isn’t true. What determines a home’s asking price is the number of similar homes for sale in an area, interest rates, and the job market, no matter the season. What does the data on properties in your area say? Are the homes listed for sale or those that have just sold comparable to your property? Ask Charles D’Alessandro for area comps.

  1. If you must sell your home to buy a new home, the whole process is easier

The transition from selling to owning is usually easier in a busier market when you must sell the home you own to buy a new one. You won’t get strapped with two mortgages at the same time either.
