Reasons Why Spring Is the Perfect Time to Move

April 22, 2019 | Market News, moving in spring, Things To Do

If you’ve been investigating the market of new homes in Moseley VA and are seriously considering moving, now is the time to act. From the weather to mortgages, spring is the time to get serious about moving into that dream home you’ve been eyeing, especially the ones built by LifeStyle Home Builders.

A good reason to start now is that you most likely have a home to sell as part of the process of moving into your new home. Now is the time to get your home on the market when demand is high, but supply is still low. Get your home exposed to all of the buyers hitting the market to give yourself a better chance of selling quickly and at a great price.

Another factor to consider is the state of mortgage rates. While they are slowly rising, they are still at near record lows. A 30-year mortgage rate is still under 5%, but realtor and mortgage associations expect rates to slowly continue to climb this year, which means you want to lock in that mortgage now so you can get more home for your money. Buying at the end of the year could be a drastically different experience.

By starting the process now, not only will you likely get a better mortgage rate and get a better deal on your existing home’s sale, you’ll be moving at a great time of year. By the time the process is finalized and your new home is built and ready to move into, you’ll be ready to start the summer in one of the brand new homes in Moseley VA, giving you time to settle in, get to know the neighborhood, and get the kids adjusted for a new school, if necessary. So if you’re serious about moving, now is the time to act!
