A little. Homes listed in October did best — 28% didn’t sell within a year — and homes listed in August did worst, at 35%. That’s a real difference, but a small one next to price, size or flood zone.
How fast a home sells changes more: homes listed in December that sold got an offer in about 37 days; in June, about 71 days.
For example: listing in August instead of October has meant about 1 more home in every 10 still unsold a year later.
