August may feel like the tail end of summer, but in real estate, it’s prime time for smart buyers and sellers to make their move. While spring tends to get all the attention, late summer offers its own set of unique advantages—and the window of opportunity is still wide open.
Why It’s a Great Time to Sell
- Serious buyers are still active. While casual lookers may have faded with the school bell, August buyers are often more motivated to close before fall routines kick in.
- Less competition. The spring and early summer frenzy has slowed, so your listing may stand out more in a less crowded market.
- Pre-holiday urgency. Many buyers want to be settled before the holidays or before winter weather makes moving trickier.
Why It’s a Great Time to Buy
- More negotiating power. With fewer buyers in play, sellers may be more willing to negotiate on price or closing costs.
- Interest rate strategy. Buying now could help you get ahead of potential rate changes in the fall.
- Quicker closings. With title companies and lenders a little less swamped than in peak summer, your transaction may move faster.
