We’ve been talking a lot about how to get in great financial shape for the New Year. And yes, Action Step #4: Smart Purchasing plays a part.

But what about those big-ticket items?

The good news is that there are some months when you can get a better deal than at other times.

For example, the best time to buy a home is in March, August or December. You will find a better variety because after the cold winter months, more homes are on the market for the spring.

According to a 2019 report from Realtor.com, which analyzed three years of median home listing prices, early April is the best time to sell a home because there are a lot of people looking for a home, before the peak buying season begins in June.

With cars, the best time to buy is in December, followed by September. In December, you’re facing a hungry sales force eager to make their monthly, quarterly, and yearly goals. Because many dealerships offer year-end sales, you’ll probably be able to negotiate a better deal.

September is also a great time to buy because it falls at the end of the third business quarter. You’ll benefit from the end of the third quarter and the new models are filling the car lots. You’ll be able to get a deep discount on the previous year’s models as a result.

At Matson & Cuprill we know that such purchases are needed. We’d like to help you make the wisest decision when it comes to finding the best options. It’s part of what we offer with creating the best financial plan for you.
