Why September is the best time of year to buy a house and haggle a better deal

September is that time of the year where people start to get impatient. Studies have shown that people are more likely to sell in September for a multitude of reasons. The year goes by quick and without the home selling, the seller begins to worry about how much longer it can drag out. By selling in September, they have a bit of a buffer before the holiday season where they can relax and not have to worry about buying things.

Key Takeaways:

As the years end comes closer and closer, people get a bit more antsy when trying to sell.
It is a great time to buy a house when someone is really motivated to sell as you can get great deals.
Do not be afraid to make a low offer because sometimes a motivated seller will accept it.
