5 Good Reasons Why a New Home for the Holidays May be Your Best Buy


While many people think of spring as the best time to find a new home, the holiday season may be the perfect time to purchase a new construction home. Here are 5 good reasons why a new home for the holidays may be your best buy.

Buy your New Construction Home Now, Move-in Next Summer

Do you dream of building a new home to reflect your own style? Building a new home will usually take four months or more to complete. Buying a to-be-built home during the holiday season, will give you time to select your finishes, add options and move-in the following spring or summer. That’s perfect timing for families with school age children and buyers eager to enjoy their new home in warmer weather.  

Quick Move-in Homes, the Best Holiday Present

When you daydream about your new home, do you picture family and friends gathering around your table for a holiday meal? Do you envision neighbors stopping by to celebrate? Why wait? Purchasing a quick move-in home will give you the opportunity to settle before the holidays. These “spec” homes (homes under construction but not sold) are often fully complete or nearly ready for you to move into.

Less Competition

The holiday season may be an easier time for you to purchase a new home. Many buyers are distracted with holiday preparations and obligations. You’ll have less competition for choosing your favorite home site in a community or buying the Quick Move-in home that feels like it was built with your personal style in mind.

Builders are Motivated to Sell

While it’s unlikely that a builder will negotiate the base price of a home, they may offer attractive incentives during the holiday season on spec homes. Builders are motivated to sell homes to meet or exceed their sale sales projections before the end of the year. Look for incentives on closing costs, included features and options that a builder may offer during the holidays.  

Low Mortgage Interest Rates

With current low mortgage interest rates, buying now will give you significant savings over the life of your loan. Now is a good time to speak to a mortgage lender to pre-qualify for a loan. Trident Mortgage Company can help you through the entire loan process. 

There’s no place like home for the holidays

With so many good reasons to buy a new home for the holidays, why wait? Buy and customize your dream home now and move-in this spring or summer. Purchase a Quick Move-in Home (a builder's spec home) and enjoy your new construction home without the wait. There's less competition so you'll have more choices.  Builders are motivated to sell spec homes before the end of the year giving you the opportunity to take advantage of limited-time incentives. Our current low interest rates on mortgage means more house for your money or more money in your pocket.
