I know, I know—I just bad-mouthed spring. But hear me out. If you must buy in May or June, there’s a bright side. More houses are listed. Like, a lot more. You have more choices, which is great if you’re picky about things like “not having shag carpet in the bathroom.”
But choices come at a cost: higher prices and faster sales. You’ll need to be ready with your pre-approval, your agent, and your “I will not cry if I lose this house” game face. It’s like speed dating for real estate—fun, but exhausting.
Buying A Home
Best strategy for spring? Go early. Listings hit on Thursday or Friday. Be there Saturday morning, not Sunday afternoon. The early bird gets the non-moldy basement.
