Price of buying a home and the mortgage rates keep increasing every year. So, if you are planning to buy a home at this time of the year, keep the following points in your mind before jumping into the market.

Having a good knowledge about the market: It is important to do a thorough research on different markets because each market behaves differently during the fall. According to the real estate market reports of August, national home values rose 0.4% from July, making it the third consecutive month where monthly home values rose more slowly than the month prior. However, markets in other places like California, Nevada, Minnesota are moving at a brisk pace of home value appreciation. It will be around 2 percent or higher.  By the time, this year’s selling season comes to an end, we will experience a slowdown in home value appreciation.

Selection is getting limited : There were many frustrated sellers who were not able to sell their properties during the busy season. This might take their homes off the market during the holidays and all actions will come to a standstill. This means that the choices for homes will become even more limited than what it is at the current market.

Using the negotiation skills : If you selected a home few months ago and if it is still not sold, then you can negotiate with the buyer for a lower price. While some buyers may not participate in the current market, others who have been waiting for the best possible price may now be ready to offer a lower quote. On the other hand, there may be some homeowners who are determined to get a set price and others will simply continue to wait for more time.

Checking the maintenance area : Fall is the best time to check the maintenance work like gutter drainage and the general upkeep of the yard. Check your home during this time and see if it needs any repair. During rainy season, you can inside your house and check out the furnace, look for the drafts, leakage issues and other possible structural or maintenance problems. You can keep aside a certain amount of money for repairing your home and then at a later stage, you can adjust the price of your home accordingly.
