Even though spring is the most popular time of the year to look for a new home, we like to stress to all of our homebuyers that getting a head-start in the less popular months can really put you ahead of the game! Miller & Smith model homes don’t close when a chill hits the air, so take a look at some of the reasons you should be visiting us right now:
Better chance of getting the home you want
Because springtime is hopping with homebuyers, there is more competition during that time of the year. In the Fall and Winter, you have a better chance of getting first dibs on newly released homesites and immediate deliveries than you would if you waited until the Spring. Beat the mad dash in April and May by bundling up and getting out now to visit our communities!
Your Way Homes
With our brand new Your Way Homes program, there are even more ways to find your home, sooner. Unlike our standard immediate delivery homes, with Your Way Homes, we halt the building process at drywall and allow you to add the features and finishes you desire, such as hardwood flooring, countertops, and light fixtures. This allows you to personalize your home the way you have always envisioned, while knowing that your family can move in just 61 days later. Find yours now, and move in shortly after the holiday season!
See a different side of a community
Our communities have beautiful qualities to them year-round, but we also know that the weather does not always cooperate here on the East Coast, especially in the winter. We recommend visiting our new home communities whenever it is convenient for you, and if the weather isn’t great, we know that you will still fall in love with the homes and locations we have to offer!
More attention from the professionals
It’s true – it is a slower time of year for the entire housing industry, but this means that you will be the center of attention! Realtors and other home-buying professionals will have more time to focus on you and your needs, which is also great for scheduling appointments and meetings around your other holiday-related tasks.
It’s a good time to put your current home on the market
According to US News and World Report, buyers looking to sell their home by the spring should put it on the market in November and December. The report says, “New Year’s resolutions help many homebuyers get into the house-hunting groove after the first of the year. If you like the idea of marketing your home at the start of 2019, reach out to real estate agents now to be sure you’re making all the right preparations to draw winter homebuyers to your property.”
Our last reason for urging you to visit us through the fall and winter, is that we have newly opened model homes waiting for you! We have just opened at West Village at One Loudoun, as well as our Knight House Square Townhome Collection at Embrey Mill!
