Is July the new August?

said on August 4th, 2010 filed under: State of the Market

Sunflower 1August has arrived.  And while I’m not complaining about the lack of traffic, the abundance of parking and the ease with which one can waltz into a restaurant unannounced, August is no longer seen as that forbidden territory when it comes to listing houses. We were talking about real estate in the office today, focusing in on the fact that July was not as busy as June or even May. And someone blurted out “July is the new August.” And they are right.  DC schools are starting 3 weeks earlier this year (August 23).  It seems like more people are clearing out of town in July than in August.

Conventional wisdom used to be that one would never list a house in August. The reasons were many, but mostly because the yards are dry and ugly and the city is empty.  That said, inventory has been so low during the past few years that now there isn’t the same stigma associated with August listings.  One is no longer viewed as being “desperate.” In fact, why be part of the crowd in September when you can stand out in August? The buyers are still there.  I just held a first open house on August 1 where at least 30 groups came by for a look.  And they were all salivating over the house (which, unfortunately for them, was already under contract).

So, sellers, take heed.  Buyers, too.

And never, ever list your house in December. Heh heh.
