The real estate market is subject to seasonality, with certain times of the year being more conducive to buying and selling. Home sales tend to increase during the warmer months, which means that spring and summer are the most active periods for real estate transactions. This is due to various factors, such as school schedules, more favorable weather conditions for moving, and a generally positive economic outlook.
Ultimately, the decision to buy or sell a home should depend on individual circumstances and preferences. While waiting for warmer weather can lead to higher premiums for sellers, it may not always be feasible or practical for buyers. It is essential to work with a trusted real estate agent who can guide you through the process and help you make informed decisions.
