When are home sales the slowest?

Although right now is typically a slow period in real estate, I am predicting a hot real estate market for the 4th quarter of 2019.

The reason is that buyers have been experiencing heavy competition for the last several months, have had their offers rejected, but are still very motivated to buy a home.

All those buyers that have not had any luck lately will be hungry and ready to pounce on any new listings that come up.

That should make for an interesting end to the year.
