August 2020 vs August 2025: A Market Déjà Vu
Historically, August appears to be a bellwether month indicating a market transition. August 2020 and 2025, share similar patterns of intense buyer activity. The first 3 weeks of 2025 are almost a carbon copy of 2020, with totals sitting within 5–10 sales of each other.
In both years, sales outpaced listings, especially in August which is extremely rare.
2020 followed a spring freeze (covid shutdown) followed by a massive summer bounce.
2025 may be echoing that with a late start to the year, followed by a powerful August, which signals buyer confidence is back.
