The New Year marks a time for new beginnings and excitement about the coming year. As the calendar turns over, some have more on their mind than resolutions. It’s also a time for major life changes – and buying a new home is often at the top of the list.
Spring is a popular time to go home shopping, but there are many compelling reasons why buying a new home may be the perfect New Year’s resolution.
1. A Fresh Start for the New Year
There’s something refreshing about beginning a new chapter in a new space. The New Year is all about fresh starts, and what better way to embrace that than a new home and community that aligns with your ambitions and lifestyle.
2. Fewer Buyers in the Market
Less people tend to look for a home during the winter months. This means there’s less competition from other buyers. If you want less stress and more negotiating power, the New Year may be the perfect time to go home shopping.
3. Financial Benefits
If you close on your home before the end of the year, you can potentially deduct for mortgage interest, property taxes or other interest expenses. These deductions can be substantial, particularly in the early years of your loan as you pay off interest. Plus, with historically low mortgage rates, now is a great time to buy a home.
4. More Inventory
There’s often a surge in housing inventory at the start of the year. This gives buyers greater selection, and sellers must stay competitive so their homes will stand out. That’s why the New Year is a great time for buyers to get into the market. With more options, there’s a better chance of finding a home that suits your needs.
5. Seasonal Buyer Incentives
There’s always a push to close on new homes and meet quotas at the end of the year. Builders may provide incentives like upgrades or savings on closing costs. Take advantage of any end-of-year sales and get the best home for you and your needs at an incredible value.
6. Owning a Lennar Home
