Housing market just entered its key seasonal window: What it means
Briefly

The U.S. housing market demonstrates a clear seasonal trend each year, with existing home sales typically reaching their lowest in January before a gradual increase into June. This pattern often aligns with families looking to move before the school year, as well as buyers leveraging tax refunds for down payments. Spring also sees a rise in new listings, as sellers aim to meet the surge in demand, which in turn pressures home prices upward during this peak season.
U.S. existing home sales typically bottom out in January and begin to rise month-over-month until peaking around June, influenced by family dynamics and warmer weather.
New house listings in the U.S. begin rising in early spring, typically bottoming out in December, thus increasing inventory and choices for buyers.
Seasonal dynamics in the U.S. housing market show that home prices face the most upward pressure in spring due to increased demand from buyers.
The spring season not only brings increased sales but also attracts sellers to the market aware of the buyer influx, boosting overall transaction volume.
