Think winter is the worst time to buy? Think again. Here’s why buyers with flexibility find the year’s best value in winter:
❄️ Only 24% of buyers pay above list price in January vs. 35% in May/June
💵 Homes stay on market longer (49 days vs. 31 days peak season) giving you more negotiating power
🤝 Motivated sellers become more flexible after the holidays pass
🚚 Moving companies offer their lowest rates during the winter months
Yes, there are challenges—limited curb appeal, weather concerns, and lower inventory. But winter also reveals property truths like heating efficiency, drafty windows, and roof performance that you might miss in summer.
For buyers who can handle the logistics, winter offers serious opportunities to save thousands and negotiate from a position of strength.
