Many people assume that most housing sales occur during the spring and summer months, but that’s not the case.
In fact, according to data from the National Association of Realtors, dating back to 2000, the winter and fall months are the months with the most home sales.
Spring and summer may seem like the best time of year to catch buyers as this is when we typically see the most buyer activity. However, I think there is something to be said about being on the market when there is less competition. Inventory is down right now due to the recent spike in home sales because of low interest rates and with the traditional thinking of “waiting until spring to sell” inventory should remain low. Now may be a perfect opportunity to get a good price for your home. There is a good chance we will see a spike in relocation business after the election and many buyers that are in a “wait and see who gets elected” mode are likely to make a purchase immediately after the election.
