Mid-winter and mid-summer are often the highest periods for pending sales (note “pending sales” chart 3).
Perhaps these periods top the charts because March hosts spring break, which brings a great number of skiers and snowboarders.
And August tends to be the top summer tourist month, a time for golf, fishing, hiking, biking, and more.
