What is the best time of year to buy?
Because many buyers prefer to move in the spring or summer, the market starts to heat up as early as February. Families with children are anxious to buy so they can move during summer vacation, before the new school year begins. The market slows down in late summer before picking up again briefly in the fall. November and December have traditionlly been slow months, although some astute buyers look for bargains during this period.
The best time is when you are ready! You can find a great deal on a boat at any time of year. Boat shows are great places to shop – you can compare boats from a wide variety of brands and dealers, and can often take advantage of special show pricing and financing offers. Just be sure you’ve done some homework and identified the right type of boat for your needs before you buy.
