When its cold or rainy outside people "hibernate" just like bears.
If you are in a area with poor weather don't miss a great opportunity to be one of the only buyers looking and making an offer.
Why should you look now in two words: Less competion.
(1) You may be the only buyer the sellers seeing today, this week, or maybe in a long time.
(2) Make an offer. You probably will be the only offer in front of the seller today.
(3) Look at homes on the market that aren't moving, just back on the market, and any home you are the only buyer looking at today at that the seller will see an offer from.
(4) Encourage the seller to accept your offer with a cover letter explaining why you "love" the home your looking at if they are a long term owner. If they love this house they want to sell to someone that will continue to love their home.
(5) Don't insult the seller, even if it needs repairs/renovations at the time of the offer remind the seller you are making an offer because the house fits your current needs or you wouldn't be making an offer.
Don't be a bear. Get out look and make an offer today.
One exception: Only look when its safe to walk to from properties and when your cars safely can be parked withut being towed if a parking ban is in place.
