Why NOW is the Best Time to Buy a New Home

May 26, 2023

Why NOW is the Best Time to Buy a New Home

New construction opportunities will be higher in the summer months as builders take advantage of warmer temperatures to complete construction of homes that are underway. Older inventory homes from the winter have sold and newer homes are likely to have trendier interior and exterior options. 

You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy your outdoor living spaces, plant your perennial flower beds, and get to know your neighbors, before we all head back indoors to escape the winter months.

Another reason you may be interested in purchasing a home today might be:

A little-known mortgage surcharge is getting an overhaul in May. This surcharge could impact home buyers in a variety of ways, potentially helping those with lower credit scores by lowering their costs. You’ll want to speak with your lender to learn all of the details and how this might impact your home buying decision.

So get ready to sit on the front porch of your new Olthof home and watch a sunset or two.
