Baron, good plan, don’t be set on July, just use that date as a re-evaluation point and be open to 90 day extensions, a while back Bugs laid out a plan where every few months you chart inventory, months supply, d.o.m. and foreclosure stats, as soon as those things all begin to trend downward, then start getting serious in your search. I don’t like mid July as a seasonal bottom in any given year (be it 08,09,10,11,or 12) for the very reason you stated, people with kids want to be in before the school year starts, Sept to Dec, months with crappy weather or smack dab in the holidays, whatever is the opposite of when there are shoppers out there is when I think it will be best in any given year. But I see your position, you don’t need the absolute bottom and your sell high buy low can’t lose even if you bought today. Paying cash or almost paying cash for a house makes a lot of this timing stuff moot.
There are some minor differences in elementary schools, there are about 15 in Temec alone so check their API on the state website and feel free to ask me any specific questions at [email protected]
