It's not. Winter is the best time, usually has the best deals before spring price increases.

For this spring, the best reason is to take advantage of the attractive mortgage interest rates.

sez who?
Maybe for sellers who have a bigger pool of buyers...
But for buyers the best deals are in the fall...

Answer depends on goal.
We tell investors to wait till dead of winter out here along the River. The Ratz are gone after Labor Day, snowbirds are looking for rentals, sellers want properties off the books before EOY.
Sellers wanting top dollar, advise marketing to commence right after Super Bowl Sunday. By then, W2s are in, some have already filed and or anticipate tax refunds, Xmas bills paid, buyers come in especially from CA w disposable income. Sweet spot for residential is March April May. If you're selling. Vacationers want to be in their house Memorial or 4th of July at the latest.
Buying, November December January.
Our kids go back to school in August so local families are home buying before then or not till next summer.
YMMV, but most areas have 'rhythms'.

Because so many people believe it is.
It depends on the area - the market - the climate.
We sell all year round here. We are not buried in 6 feet of snow.

I don't know that it is but it seems to be when people get itchy to think about it. Everything is getting brighter and coming up and people decide it's a great time to look for a new place.

Generally the inventory is higher for the so-called "spring market", when sellers come out to sell.

Kids are getting out of school, and will be out by closing. Also in ND it's best to move in July... it's the only month of the year that snow has not ever been recorded in modern history Don Burns .

I woudn't necessarily say spring is the best time; however, there is usually the most inventory in the spring.

Any time of the year is best to purchase real estate. . . personally I choose to purchase in the fall/winter because the prices have leveled if not dipped and also the interest rates tend to be lower around December & January. . . .

That's what consumers always think but it is not true. It is best to beat the Spring Market when prices have not yet increased... People tend to move in Spring with a summer closing so the children don't have to change schools mid term.

I could go along with a lot of the others rah rah answers but I think it is based on the old fact that families with children liked to buy in Spring, close and move by summer. Then the kids could enter their new schools in the Autumn and not have to be ripped out of one in the middle of the school year.

My opinion fall is the best time buy real estate. But when you need it, this is the perfect time for home buy.

With the current severe shortage of inventory, there is no best season to buy. The sooner, the better because waiting means paying more later.
