Making Seasonality Work for You
Understanding these seasonal patterns can help you make informed decisions about when to enter the market. While spring might offer the most options, winter could provide the best deals. Fall often presents a sweet spot with reasonable prices and decent inventory levels.
Beyond the Seasons
Remember that while seasonality matters, other factors like interest rates, local market conditions, and your personal circumstances should also guide your decision-making process. The perfect time to buy or sell isn’t just about the weather – it’s about when the conditions align with your specific needs and goals.
