When is the best time to buy a home? Or when do you think it’s favorable or appropriate to buy a home?
If you have plans to buy a new home this month or year, this article will give you a few hints on the best times to negotiate a house deal. Before I continue with the main subject of this post, I’d like to share this story with you:
Last month, my uncle told me that he wants a new place for his family but didn’t know how to go about it. Before selling his home, he had to face the stress of getting buyers and a certified realtor, until he came across a real estate agent on a public bus one day. My Uncle narrated his ordeal and told him how challenging it is for him to sell his home. After their discussion, the real estate agent scheduled a meeting with him the following day; (which was a Monday) and began to counsel him on when best to sell and buy a home.
Below are some of the tips that he shared :
Do you know that spring is the best time to sell a home? In fact, there’s nothing that beats the spring market. Phones and cell phones ring constantly, everybody wants to buy and sell, everybody wants a good deal. While there’s nothing more on the market in the spring than any other season of the year, it’s the ideal time to get a good offer.
But do you know that there’s another day of the year that’s more favorable to buy a home?
It is Easter Sunday. I once heard the story of a young man looking to buy a home on the outskirts of Colorado at Easter. The man immediately inspected the home and wrote an offer. In fact, the offer was signed and accepted on Easter Sunday. The deal was a good one, and the amazing thing was that, he had no competitors.
If you’re planning on buying a new home this season, wait until Easter! It’s the best time to buy a home; trust me!
Pro tip: in case you don’t know, Easter Sunday is the first Sunday in the ecclesiastical moon after vernal equinox, and it falls sometime between March 23 to April 25; depending on location or country.
Another best time to buy a home is Christmas day.
Why is Christmas season so attractive? Simply because everybody is more inclined to be generous even if it means coming below the price. During Christmas, you’d often hear, ”Hey, it’s Christmas; you don’t have to negotiate, just sign it”! It’s that easy.
Another reason why Christmas seems to be the best time to buy a home is because, few buyers shop homes; therefore competition is usually low. In fact, home prices are usually 12-month low during Christmas season.
The key is to have a real estate agent who will work during Christmas (though this can be a challenging task) but there are those agents out there.
Final Note
When last did you buy a home during Christmas or Easter? What was your experience like? Any thoughts or suggestions? Kindly, share your experience with us. I’ll be waiting to reply your comments…

The beautiful gates of Desert Horizons Country Club.
This lovely free standing Doral floor plan is truly special, and it’s location may just be one of THE premier sites at Desert Horizons Country Club. 75483 14th Green Dr., listed at $850,000, perches at the end of a cul-de-sac with that very rare vantage point of the “T” of two fairways. The Eastern, gated sideyard, features a long reflective pool, and fairway view over the 10th to the Chocolate mountains.
Once you walk through the Entry gates, under the covered porch on the beautiful East side, you REALLY see the magic of this home..the Southern backyard. A swimmer’s pool with stacked stone spa and water feature overlook the 14th Green, to sparkling lakes and to the Santa Rosa Mountains. An amazing location!
This is the original home of one of the developers of Desert Horizons CC and they chose this site specifically. The home has been slightly modified with interior door heights of 7 ft. and the exterior wall was pushed out 4 ft. or so to increase the expansive feeling of the home. Approx. 3130 sf with 3 beds/3baths + an additional Den/office with a fireplace. Enter the front door to a great room with soaring ceilings, a dual-sided fireplace, step down wet bar and formal dining area. The kitchen was remodeled in 2008, as was the floor, granite and new pool equipment was installed. This Indian Wells luxury home needs some updating, but with this location? Wow..so worth it!
