Are you tired of being cramped up in the house or apartment you’ve outgrown during these cold winter months?

Are you ready to upgrade to a house with a big backyard for snowman building and a fireplace for cozy nights?

Pros:

First, buying a house in the winter is like hitting the jackpot because there’s less competition. Everyone wants to buy a house in the spring and summer, but in the winter, not as many people are looking. This means you have a better chance of getting your dream house at a great price.

Another benefit of buying a house in the winter is seeing how the house holds up in the cold weather. You’ll be able to see if there are any drafts or leaks and if the heating system works well. This way, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting before you buy it.

Over the years, I have had many clients who ventured out into the snow to check out properties, especially the vacation homes still on the market from the fall…These many times lead to solid deals for people.

Cons:

Ok, it’s COLD. And Snowey. This is basically the main reason why people stay home, and I get it, but as mentioned for those brave enough to venture out it can be worth it!

Pools, Wells/septics, and the exterior of homes can be more challenging to inspect when there is 3 feet of snow everywhere. This is very true, however inspectors are able to get a good look in most cases and if not we have a range of clauses to add into offers that give a warranty to different items. Thats one of the benefits of working with our team, we have decades of experience in making these exact situations a breeze.

For the Sellers:

The good news is if someone is making the trip out in this crazy snow filled life we have here in the Quinte region they are serious. Fewer tire kickers!

So, what are you waiting for? Don’t miss out on your chance to hit the jackpot and buy a house in the winter. You’ll be glad you did, when you’re sitting by the fire with your hot cocoa, watching the snow fall outside your very own window. Reach out and we can chat about how this could be your time to snag that solid winter deal!
