Will Buyer Activity Increase or Decrease in May and June?

History does not tell a consistent story here.

Last year, contract activity (buyers -- and sellers -- actually signing contracts) decreased between April and May and then further in June. 

The two prior years (2014, 2015), however, there was even MORE contract activity in May and June as compared to April.

So, as a seller, it's hard to say if we've seen the peak number of buyers (per month) already in 2017, or if we'll see even stronger months of buying activity over the next 45 days.
