Momentum Housing Data · Seller Series
Every “best month to sell” article says spring. Here is what 17,732 recorded closings in Central Florida actually show — and the piece the folklore misses: closings lag listings by roughly two months, so the question that matters is when to list.
| Close month | Closings | Share of year | Median price |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 805 | 4.5% | $378,420 |
| February | 1,042 | 5.9% | $376,000 |
| March | 1,370 | 7.7% | $385,000 |
| April | 1,476 | 8.3% | $390,000 |
| May | 1,707 | 9.6% | $400,000 |
| June | 2,333 | 13.2% | $400,000 |
| July | 3,010 | 17.0% | $410,000 |
| August | 1,804 | 10.2% | $395,000 |
| September | 1,028 | 5.8% | $381,250 |
| October | 1,060 | 6.0% | $385,000 |
| November | 962 | 5.4% | $380,000 |
| December | 1,135 | 6.4% | $387,000 |
Reading it honestly: the seasonal edge is real but secondary — July closes 3.7× what January does, yet even the slowest month closed 805 sales in this data. Pricing against recent closed comps moves outcomes far more than the calendar; the failed-listing record is overwhelmingly a pricing story, in every month. Selling into a specific season also means preparing a month or two before the listing month — work backward from May.
A Momentum agent will run your community’s own closed-sale record and build the timeline backward from your target month — free, no obligation.
