Seasonality of Buying and Selling a House

Traditionally, holiday season and the first of the year are the worst times to sell and end of school year/summer is the best time to sell. But if you have your house priced competitively, staged well and it's in good shape, especially a starter home, you can sell them almost any time. First time buyers or buyers with no kids aren't constrained to school schedules, etc.

We sold our starter home in January for list price- and we sold it by owner, too.

Well it depends on the type of property

Eta: big houses with kids involved.... sumber will always be king. Normal 3 bed 2 bath... all year long
