Whether you are currently moving into a newly purchased home that could use an appliance refresh or trying to prepare your home to sell for the best possible price, fresh, stylish household appliances are the way to go. The best time of year for new kitchen appliances at bargain rates is in January. From dishwashers to stovetops, ovens, even washers, and dryers; nearly everything is on sale right after the new year. Just like when you get the summer fashions on sale right at the beginning of fall, your local appliance and home improvement stores are looking to make space for the next years product lines.
Holiday Sales
Christmas, New Years and post-holiday sales are often the best deals of the season. Since January is a slow income month for most stores, they usually run additional deals and extras such as free delivery, installation or 0% interest on large purchases. You can even get special deals on floor models or returned gift purchases. Make sure you're looking at the last year's models for the best deals, but even the new ones will probably be on a bit of a sale.
Price Matching
Most chain or big-box stores will match prices with a lot of their competitors. Do some research and see who has the best sales, then take those coupons, advertisements or just bookmarked web pages into the nearest store to you and get the prices you want. You can leverage this to get more appliances at once place, which opens you up to high purchase rewards like free shipping, rewards points, and future deals.
Online Shopping
Just because you don't have options nearby doesn't mean you can't take advantage of the new years' sales. Many stores have even better deals online and a more extensive selection of options. Some also post their returns, floor models and refurbished items online because it is less expensive to store them in their warehouses rather than in the stores. That means you have a more comprehensive selection than those shopping at the brick and mortar store. Lastly, don't forget the online-only retailers. Many of them get the overstock from the brick and mortar stores, which means even steeper deals for you.
Just because you don’t like your appliances doesn’t mean you need to replace all of them. Get your agent to take a look at what you have and give you some advice on what you can keep so you can stay within budget.
