What is the best time of year to buy a house? It depends on your goal

What is the best time of year to buy a home? It kind of depends. If you buy in the winter months, November, December, and January, you will generally have less to choose from, but you'll also have less competition and maybe lower prices.

In the spring - April, May, you will generally have the most to choose from, but more competition and higher prices.

Not surprisingly, around August - September is maybe the sweet spot in between, where you will still have a decent amount of inventory to choose from while getting some price cuts.
