Why Winter is the Right Time to Buy
While you're all cozy and "hibernating" for the winter, it may not seem like a great time to buy real estate in the Lake of the Ozarks. Contrary to what you may think, though, it's actually a great time to find the house of your dreams. Here at Gattermeir Davidson, we know that buying a home can be a daunting experience, but that's why we come alongside you and help you navigate all of the challenges and celebrate the successes. Here are a few reasons why buying your home in the winter can be a great option.
While winter weather could scare some buyers away because it's not an easy time to move or the weather is generally cold and dreary - it could mean you have less competition for the home of your dreams.

Sellers Are Motivated
In many cases, when a seller is trying to get their home off of the market in the winter, it's because they are in a hurry and need the house to be gone fast. Whether it's because of a job change or needing to relocate for personal reasons - if you find a motivated seller you could have better chances of negotiating. Use it to your advantage!Get Bargain Prices
Prices are predicted to continue rising through the year, so if you want to get a great deal on a new home - start looking now. Winter is also a less popular time to sell homes, and because of that, you will find the overall price of homes to be lower than in the busier seasons, like summer.
Less Competition
While winter weather could scare some buyers away because it's not an easy time to move or the weather is generally cold and dreary - it could mean you have less competition for the home of your dreams.
Seasonal Perspective
Sure, the winter weather could be frightful, but it may give you some great insight into the home you're looking at! How does the heating system work? What about cold drafts through the home? These are things you will notice on a day to day basis when you live in a home, and touring in the winter can give you a heads up.Quality Time With Your Agents
At Gattermeir Davidson, we make a point to always invest time with our clients no matter what season you're buying a home in - but for other professionals in the industry, you could get more time from them. In the busy summer months, mortgage lenders, inspectors, and title companies are swamped with work. When you buy your home in the winter, you maybe be able to get more flexibility from them.Your Lake of the Ozarks Real Estate Agent
