Memorial Day and Real estate activities typically slow down over Memorial Day weekend due to people taking time off to relax and observe the holiday.

As such, there may be fewer buyers and sellers active on the market during this time, which could mean lower-than-normal sales volumes and longer timeline for transactions to close.

However, this doesn’t mean that there are no real estate opportunities during Memorial Day week.

Savvy buyers and sellers can capitalize on the quieter marketplace by taking advantage of motivated sellers or bargains from less competitive buyers.

Remember that we are heading into the summer months.

Memorial Day and Real Estate

The real estate summer buying season typically runs from May to September, with the peak usually in June and July.

Memorial Day can mark the start of the summer real estate buying season, as families with children take advantage of better weather and longer days to begin their home search.

Many first-time buyers and investors are also eager to make the most of the summer months, eager to take advantage of the annual influx of buyers.

Whether you’re looking for a summer rental or a forever home, now is the perfect time to get started.

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day, a day to honor and remember those who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

It is observed on the last Monday of May each year. Memorial Day serves as a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by those who serve in the US military, and their families.
