Thinking About Buying Before Season? Why September Is a Great Time to Buy 

Thinking About Buying Before Season? Why September Is a Great Time to Buy 

If buying a home in Southwest Florida has been on your radar, you may be tempted to wait until later in the year. However, September can be an excellent time to start your home search, especially if you’d like to get settled before our busy winter season arrives.  

Here are a few of the reasons why September is a great time to buy a home in SWFL: 

• Getting started now will give you a chance to shop before seasonal residents and winter buyers arrive. 

• Sellers who have had their homes on the market through the summer may be more open to negotiating the price, closing costs, or other terms.  

• With less seasonal activity, you may have more time to compare homes and make a confident decision. Remember, there’s more to consider than the list price. Flood zones, insurance, roof age, impact protection, HOA fees and assessments can all affect the true cost of owning a home. 

• September is also a great time to experience what living here is like outside of peak season. You can explore neighborhoods, restaurants, beaches and everyday conveniences without additional seasonal residents.  

• If your goal is to be settled before the holidays and the height of season, September is a great time to start looking.
