Some buyers assume that they’ll be unable to find a house that fits their needs during the fall. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Here are four reasons why a buyer should disregard the myths, and make a fall real estate purchase:

1. Many warm-weathered buyers have already found a home, meaning a fall buyer will have less competition for the available houses.
2. After months of no action, lingering summertime sellers are more than ready to make a deal.
3. The holidays are looming, and buyers can use this time crunch to their advantage.
4. After settling, furnishing the house is next on a buyer’s list. December proves to be an ideal time to purchase large ticket items and snag great deals on furniture and home decor.
