What is the hardest month to sell a home?

I'm planning to sell my house within the next 18 months. I'm not in a rush and would prefer to list at a good time and avoid the hardest month to sell a home.

January is usually the hardest month to sell a home, with fewer buyers active due to holidays, weather, and post-holiday finances. Late fall and December are also slower compared to spring and early summer. We're coming into a spring market and it's a great time to sell if you're ready.

Hello George, I think it depends greatly on the area you live in, but can still vary. For example, I'm in Prescott, Arizona and although our market is considered slow during December and January, we actually had a strong sales volume, and the pending homes are double the norm for January. I believe we are currently experiencing an increase in buyer confidence due to the changes with interest rates and the upcoming leadership goals. I suggest you contact an agent in your area and ask for a market report for the Memphis area so you can see the current numbers. Best success to you! Jaye
