Best Time To Buy A Home In Tampa Bay

Best time to buy a home in Tampa Bay? Well. Now. That’s according to this new study from Attom Data. October through December is when buyers pay the smallest premium prices above the relative value of their home compared to other times of the year.

They even know the very best day to buy a home based on the study. December 5th, they say, is  when smart buyers pay a small 1.5% premium over the home’s value. Crazy, isn’t it? But, we are all willing to adjust our timing to save several thousand dollars. Aren’t we? We need all the help we can get. Many homes are less affordable nationwide than at any point in the last 13 years.

There is talk about a 20 year mortgage for low income, first time buyers to get in the market, and build equity faster.
