The leaves are beginning to turn, there's a crispness in the air, and as we bid adieu to summer, we welcome the warm and festive vibes of the fall season. This past Friday marked the official beginning of fall—a time of pumpkin-spiced lattes, cozy sweaters, and most importantly, the beginning of the holiday season.

 

But did you know that if you dream of celebrating the holidays in a new home, now is the time to start your search? Let's dive into why September is the optimal month to kickstart your house hunt in Bakersfield and Kern County.

 

1. The Clock is Ticking!

On average, from the day you decide on a house until you move in, it can take anywhere between 30 to 60 days—provided everything goes smoothly. This means that if you find your perfect home by the end of September, you could be decorating it for Christmas!

 

2. Less Competition

Many potential buyers believe winter to be an off-peak season for house hunting. By starting now, you can stay ahead of the game and have a better chance of getting that dream home without multiple competing offers.

 

3. Sellers are Serious

Homes listed in the fall often involve sellers who need to move for various reasons—be it a job change, a growing family, or downsizing. This can sometimes translate to a better deal or quicker negotiations for you.


4. Dedicated Assistance
