Is Winter the Best Time To Buy at a Maryland Active Adult Community?

The answer: At SummersGate, YES!
The tradional homebuying season historically mirrors school calendars. Parents do not want to move to a new town during the school year and want to allow ample time for their children to acclimate with the area and meet new friends over the summer. These trends are not just nationwide, but apply to Maryland real estate, too.
But what about those people whose children are out of the house? Why must they follow the same rules just because Spring weather is "nicer" for home searching? Here are some reasons from MSN.com Real Estate why buying a home in an active adult community, like SummersGate, is a perfect time!
- "While much is made of curb appeal, a winter tour may reveal a less orchestrated look at a property... In the summer, you can't have that fireplace going." So there are winter benefits you won't notice in the summer, and vice versa.
- "Cold weather lets buyers experience first hand how well the heating works and whether there are cold or damp areas of the house."
Plus... why wait? There are so many benefits to living in a 55+ active adult community it doesn't make sense to hold out until the weather warms up. The huge benefit of buying this time of year is the ability to wash your hands of shoveling snow for the rest of the season! The other is the added convenience of brand new construction, meaning new appliances, fixtures and equipment in your new SummersGate home. The heater will work the day you turn it on... No fuss... No guesswork. Those warranties aren't too shabby either!
