The truth about buying a home.

With all the media information and talking heads talking about when the best time to buy or sell a home is, it's no wonder it can be overwhelming and confusing to figure out exactly when you should make the move. 

To tell you the truth, it's ok to feel overwhelmed. It's ok to be confused.

As long as you don't stay there.

While there are statistics out there that support the most profitable times of year to buy or sell a home, it is not that cut and dry.
 
What do I mean by this? 

What I mean is ideally the best time to buy or sell a home is when it's right for you and your situation. Notice I said 'you'.

Does a couple that is going through a divorce wait until the market is good?

What about the newly married couple who are anxious to get into a home?

To figure out when the best time to buy or sell a home is, you have to look at your own personal situation and budget and go from there. Once you know you want to buy or sell a home immediately, it's time to dive deeper into what you are looking for in a home in terms of area and/or amenities. If you're considering selling, decide what you are wanting to get from your home sale.  

The take away here is to not get absorbed into what others say and to decide for yourself, based on your own life, when the right time to buy or sell a home is and take the leap forward. You will feel a sense of relief when you do so.
