What’s the Best Time of Year to Buy a Hot Tub?
It’s no secret that the best time of year to buy a car is usually around the New Year, but what about other big-ticket products, like a hot tub? Do they have annual sales and seasonal promotions? Is there a time of year when it’s best to buy?
The quick answer is yes—buying a spa near the end of the year, around Memorial Day or Labor Day, can net you some serious savings. And that’s just the beginning.
We have good news for those considering buying a spa but aren’t ready to spend a fortune on a hot tub. If you plan your purchase right, you can find a great deal on a quality spa and bring home your purchase without breaking the bank. To help identify that sweet spot, this article discusses the when, where, and what of buying a hot tub at the best price.
When to Buy a Hot Tub?
Like buying a car, spa dealers have a stock of inventory they need to move before new models come in. So, just like cars, the very end and early beginning of the year are the two times you’ll usually find the best deals and prices.
Outside of that, the best time to look at buying a spa is when you’re already planning to replace a spa or do home/backyard improvement projects. Even with proper hot tub care, the best spas are only designed to last 10-15 years.
So when it gets that old or expected age-driven wear and tear sets in, it’s probably time to start looking for a new hot tub. As for purchasing during a design project, this makes it easier to put the hot tub where you want it, to dress it up the way you intend, and to get everything done in one go.
When Do Hot Tubs Go on Sale?
Promotional periods before and after holidays are your best bet for hot tub sales, with Memorial Day and Labor Day typically offering some great discounts.
If you feel like combining your purchase experience with a bit of extra amusement, you can also look for special hot tub sales events dealers often hold at state fairs. Dealers bring a certain amount of inventory to these events and are motivated to turn inventory before they leave to avoid transportation and restocking costs.
Determining the Best Time For You
In the end, determining when to buy comes down to individual circumstances. Consider your savings opportunities, what you intend to use the spa for, and the season you plan to install the hot tub. There’s sure to be an offer that meets your needs and budget while fulfilling your wellness needs.
