Feel better? Read on to learn how you can build or buy a new custom Florida home any time of year.
Year-round climate means year-round real estate
If you’re reading this from Montana in November, you might know your local real estate market tends to go dormant along with elk and moose during the winter.
Not completely, but real estate activity tends to slow in colder seasons, in colder climates. That’s not the norm in Florida. Balmy weather throughout the year not only keeps those new custom Florida homes sprouting in new communities, it also ensures more consistent buying and selling action.
You can schedule house-hunting on a sunny, 60-degree day in January, or a brilliant summer day in June, and still find plenty of choices in your preferred locations and price ranges.
There might be a few weeks’ pause during end-of-year holidays, but no particular time you MUST put your Indiana place on the market, then purchase your new custom Florida home IMMEDIATELY to get the best prices in both markets.
Plan your move during the ‘off-season’ for moving companies
If you know you’re hiring professional movers to transport your household goods to their new custom Florida home, plan your move for the winter — if you have the flexibility.
Summer is the busiest period for movers. It’s the most convenient season for most people to move — kids are out of school, summer vacations can be tapped for the selling and buying, and yes, the weather is more uniformly pleasant.
Moving companies that are booked in July might be happy to offer a discount in February.
