When Should We Start Looking If We Want to Purchase in_____???
This question is so common I almost hate to blog on it. But, it is asked so often I wanted to share my answer.
In Ann Arbor their are plenty of homes to buy. Purchasing a home is not the problem, selling one is.
In Ann Arbor our typical closings take 30-60 days to close. The majority close in 45 days, that gives your lender time to gather the documents, order the appraisal etc.
If a purchaser wants to be in by June, we advise looking in late March or early April. If they want to be in a home by August in time for school, then we advise starting to look in late May, early June.
If you start looking too soon, and find your dream home, then the chance of a seller waiting over 60 days to close is slim. So you will be disappointed in not being able to purchase the home you will in love with.
My daugher came up with a great rule, she uses with her buyers that many on my team have adopted. It is called THE TALK.
Pick out your Top 10, we will look at all of them. Then we will narrow it down to 3 and go back and look at those 3 again. Then we will write an offer.
Of course this "assumes" they are moving here and need to buy.
For local folks moving up, they can take a longer period as they wait for the home they want to buy to pop up on the Ann Arbor Area MLS for sale.
So what do you tell your buyers in your communities for when to begin their home search?
What is typical?
