Home buyers who weren\u2019t successful this summer at finding a home due to limited inventories and competition from all-cash offers are looking to retry their luck in the winter, according to realtor.com\u00ae\u2019s Winter Home Buyer Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis summer and spring, home-buying season was particularly challenging for buyers, especially first-time home buyers trying to compete with all-cash offers and bidding wars because of reduced inventory,\u201d says Alison Schwartz, vice president of corporate communications at realtor.com\u00ae. \u201cIn fact, a quarter of the winter home buyers revealed they are in the market now because they were unable to find a home during this last home-buying season.\u201d<\/p>\n

But winter home buyers know they\u2019ll face some challenges. Forty-five percent of those surveyed say they believe they will be up against inventory challenges again, with few homes for sale within the price range they desire. Twenty-nine percent also say that winter weather makes house-hunting unpleasant.<\/p>\n

But they believe that the winter can be a good time to buy a home. Twenty-six percent say winter is a good time to buy because they feel sellers will be more motivated and willing to negotiate. Twenty-four percent also say they think home prices will be better.<\/p>\n

Of those looking to buy this winter, 23 percent are planning to make a down payment of 10 to 20 percent, according to the realtor.com\u00ae survey. Twenty-two percent are planning to put down 21 to 99 percent in cash; 19 percent plan to put down 100 percent cash; and 13 percent are planning to make a down payment of 3.5 percent to qualify for a Federal Housing Administration loan.<\/p>\n
