May so far is the month with the most new listings. The weather has contributed to the delay in sellers getting their homes on the market. We went from extreme cold temperatures to nothing but rain.

May is the best month so far for new listings, closings and contracts accepted this year. Keep in mind that contracts that are accepted don’t always close. Sometimes they are reactivated because of a home inspection issue, financing does not go through or attorney review and inspection issues can not come to an agreement.
