Why Buying a Home Now Is Your Winning Play

An infographic titled 'Why Buying a Home Now Is Your Winning Play' uses a football theme to highlight reasons why purchasing a home before the spring market is beneficial. The background features a football stadium with bright lights. You'll Have Less Competition – Fewer buyers during the winter mean less competition and more time to make decisions. A bar chart titled 'Buying in the Off-Season May Feel Less Rushed' shows the long-term median days on the market by month, with January, February, and March having higher median days compared to other months. You'll Have More Negotiating Power – With fewer buyers in the market, sellers may be more willing to negotiate or cover repairs. A quote from Chen Zhao, Economist at Redfin, states that buying in the off-season means less competition and potentially a better deal. You Can Lock in Today’s Home Prices Before They Rise – Historically, home prices are at their lowest in January, February, and March before rising in the spring. A bar chart titled 'Home Prices Are Usually Lower in the Off-Season' shows median sales prices of existing homes from January to December 2024, with the lowest prices appearing in the first quarter. The infographic concludes with a call to action, encouraging buyers to get ahead of the competition. It includes contact information for Paul Garrison, a JPAR® Real Estate agent, along with his photo, phone number, website, and real estate logos. Sources cited include NAR and Redfin.
