A Winter Coat in Summer?

It’s my favorite time of year…The Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale! Summer fashions out, fall fashions in. Even though we are in the midst of summer, Nordstrom sets all of the next season’s trends on sale. 
It took a while for me to understand that I should buy warm weather clothes in the middle of beach season. But I realized that I could save money if I took advantage of the break in price, saving 25% or more on the kids’ school clothes, work clothes and shoes. Waiting until the weather turns cooler to update my winter wardrobe seemed to make sense, but then everything costs more in the fall.
Waiting to buy a home doesn’t make sense either. Even if prices of homes drop in the next few months, the rising interest rates will cost you more in the long run. Buyers who are waiting for the “bottom of the real estate market” could be losing out on a perfect time to buy. Prices are low, interest rates are still in an affordable range and sellers are motivated to move on.
As a Real Estate consultant, my advice is to rethink when you should buy a home. Now may be the time! Buying winter clothing in the summer is going to save me money, buying a home now can probably save you money.
Let me know if I can help you make that decision. I’ll be happy to show you what’s available on the market now.
