Is Now A Good Time To Buy
Historical market trends shows that there are two times in a year when it is typically a better time to buy, even though it may be a Seller's market. House prices tend to fall during the summer months of July and August as well as the winter months of November to mid January. During these months, you are likely to pay less for your home as there tends to be more inventory on the market and fewer sales during these months. As a result negotiations tend to be more favorable for the buyer than in other months as well there is more inventory to choose from.
Outlook for 2024, we are expecting to see increases in home prices starting late January and through the year. This is based on the increasing immigration and an increasing demand for housing. Additionally, there are now predictions for interest rates to drop in the second half of 2024. This may create more buyers entering into the market. With this in mind, the upcoming months of November 2023 to mid January 2024, may be the best time to buy, just before the typical cycle of house price increases and prior to any interest rate decreases.
