The Best Time to Sell in Northeast Florida, From the Record

Every “best month to sell” article says spring. Here is what 20,684 recorded closings in Northeast 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.

Reading it honestly: the seasonal edge is real but secondary — June closes 2.7× what January does, yet even the slowest month closed 1,007 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 April.
