Fall Is Not The Worst Season For Selling Your Home


Fall Is Not The Worst Season For Selling Your Home
By Scott Rogers • August 23, 2019
As is likely no surprise -- the busiest time for home sales (contracts) is SPRING -- by far! There is then a relatively large drop off from Spring to Summer. Somewhat surprisingly, it is not an enormous decline between Summer and Fall. So -- Fall is not the worst season for selling your home, but it is far from the best. Of note, the data above reflects the timeframe during which properties went UNDER CONTRACT -- not when they closed. Plenty of the Summer contracts turned into Fall closings -- but the 277 figure is a reflection of how many buyers made buying decisions (signed contracts) between September and November of last year. So....if you want to sell your home (and close on it) in 2019, you should be thinking about getting it on the market sooner rather than later. Fall is definitely a better time to sell than Winter!
