It's supposed to be the slow season in Dallas but ...

Someone forgot to tell Dallas home buyers. Every real estate market around the country has their busier times and their slower times of year. Typically in Dallas, the residential real estate business slows down dramatically from Halloween until Christmas. Meanwhile in a market like Florida, they are just starting their busy season.

But here, it seems most folks start focusing on the holidays, school activities, football, the end of the year, etc. And it's the time of year a Dallas Realtor can plan for a vacation.

Not in 2013! While the inventory of homes for sale is still very low, the buyer demand remains strong. Showings are above normal for this time of year and business is still busy. The experts tell us that sales would be higher right now if there were more homes to sell.

This statistical chart shows the seasonal fluctuations in Dallas county home sales each year.

If you've been thinking of waiting until spring to put your house on the market, you may want to jump in now. When demand is high and supply is low, you want to be a seller. [where: 75230]
