It’s no secret I’m a numbers geek. I believe if done correctly, stats tell us a great deal. So, I was quite surprised to see these results. After I collected all the data to determine the best month to sell your house <\/strong>I was blown away. Curious?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, before we jump right in. A few things I’ve learned about home prices in my real estate career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Back in 2006, I knew more homes sold during the Summer months but I thought home prices<\/em> moved ever so slowly higher, month after month after month. That’s wrong. That’s very<\/em> wrong.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. By 2008, I now understood that these Summer months also returned greater home sale prices than even the months that followed that… same… year. Crazy, huh?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Today in 2017, I (finally) decided to crunch the numbers to get a better grasp on the best month to sell your house<\/em>.  Here’s my mantra that’s similar to Papa John’s. More data, better results. Let’s go!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Before I began this article, I thought the average prices would be very similar to a standard Bell curve<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And I guess to a certain degree they are. But in many ways, these results are quite different<\/strong>. This next chart shows the monthly average for 9 years worth of data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It isn’t surprising to see how that June is the highest month but in all honesty, the rest of this chart isn’t what I had expected.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Where do I start? Here are the most surprising aspects of these findings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
