Realtor Payday Roller Coaster
December, January, and February may be the rainy season in Florida, but it’s very definitely the dry season for Realtors.
Especially Minnesota Realtors.
That’s because from Thanksgiving through the Super Bowl is typically the slowest (chilliest?) time of the year for the local housing market.
Because most transactions (at least in Minnesota) close six to eight weeks after the deal is negotiated, that means a dearth of closings — and Realtor paydays — in February and March.
Cold-Hot Pattern
Fortunately, that pattern reverses later on in the year.
Being busy in February and March means that, come April and May, you’ll have a steady stream of closings to look forward to.
(As of now, I’m actually scheduled for 3(!) closings on one day later this month!).
