Seasonality is Real when Selling Homes in Florida

Seasonality is Real when Selling Homes in Florida

For the past 4 years, from November through March, the questions start:

- “Why aren’t these homes selling?”

- “What can we do to move them?”

- “Is something wrong with the market?”

Then like clockwork, April hits, and the floodgates open:

- More showings

- Multiple offers

- High buyer activity

It's a roller coaster of emotions. But I've learned this cycle is normal. Seasonality is real, plan for it financially and mentally.

    When do you believe that lower prices won't help move home sales?

      I think lowering prices does help selling homes. But there are some months where sales volume decrease signifiantly (Speaking from a Florida perspective). In these slower months, there are still Buyers, just not as many. So I do believe if you NEED to sell, then lowing the price will eventually catch a Buyer. - If I understood the question correctly.

    Are you looking at the mean, median, and mode of prices? Usually the low price inventory is always moving and the higher prices are more variable.
