Here we can see how housing transactions are spread across the seasons– and the results might surprise you. While summer (June to August) has the smallest share of annual sales at 24.2%, it still holds its own compared with the other seasons. Spring comes out on top with 25.7%, winter follows closely at 25.4% and autumn sits just ahead of summer at 24.7%.
What is most striking is how evenly balanced these figures are. The differences between seasons are very small, showing that the property market remains active throughout the entire year. Summer may not lead in volume but it certainly does not fall far behind.
For buyers and sellers, this is reassuring news. It challenges the belief that summer is a quiet time for the housing market. In reality, summer sales remain strong and prove that opportunities to buy or sell are not limited to a particular season. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, the housing market continues to move.
