Some sellers are feeling depressed, not having received a contract on their house during the exciting Spring and Summer months of April through August.  And since September has now passed, they assume they might as well now wait until Spring to try selling again.

But wait --- if we look at last year's contract trajectory, we need not be discouraged....

• 170 contracts were signed last July and August combined
• 160 contracts were signed last October and November combined

We should still have two more active months of buyers writing contracts before the market does slow down for its two slowest months of the year --- December and January.
