Seasonality is real but local. Here is how to read your market instead of the calendar.
In many cold-weather cities, spring and summer bring more listings and more buyers. Winter brings fewer shoppers but sometimes more motivated ones. In warm markets the pattern can flip, with peak season arriving in winter.
Look at days on market, the ratio of list price to sale price and the number of active listings. Our city guides show sourced figures with their dates, and your agent can give you current local data.
The best moment to move is usually when your finances, your job and your people are ready. A great agent will help you make the most of whichever season you land in.
