1. Day’s on Market
Days-on-market Boston condo data is incredibly important, and along with available inventory this gives us the two main ingredients we need in order to sell a client when is the best time to sell a home (also when the worst is).
2. Number of active Boston condos for sale.
Boston condos for sale, as one might imagine, the Christmas season is the worst, Thanksgiving time is second to that. The first quarter of the year is slow, and the highest traffic can be found at the end of March through October. However, when you lay on top of that, the amount of inventory per month in that same market, you can find the best time to sell – when inventory is lowest and traffic is highest, and when it is really hard to sell, when traffic might be high but inventory is 10X what it normally is. The numbers can be surprising.
