When Should I Start My Home Search?

A very common question that I get is, "𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩?"

The first thing that I will ask you is: are you thinking about buying NEW or RESALE?

This is because the timeline differs quite drastically between the two.

✔️ New construction is typically 8-12 months out before you actually settle on your home. Taking into consideration build time, availability, delays in construction, supply chain and material delays, not to mention the time it takes for you to find the right home, land or neighborhood, and the right builder.

✔️ For resale you most likely want to start looking 3-6 months out, considering our current inventory shortage. You should account for the time it takes to find a home, as well as the time it takes to close (which can be anywhere from 30-60 days once you are under contract).

If you're thinking about buying a home, even if you're just in the "scrolling through Zillow in bed" phase, send me a message. I would love to send you my 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 and answer any questions you may have about next steps!
