Does it change anything that I am starting my Johns Creek home search in the fall rather than the spring?

Starting a Johns Creek home search in the fall generally means fewer new listings hitting the market and less buyer competition than the busier spring season, which can work in a buyer's favor on negotiating room. Sellers listing in the fall also tend to be more motivated, since they're often selling for a specific reason rather than just testing the market. Joel Boss adjusts strategy by season, so a fall search in Johns Creek gets treated differently than a spring one.
