Summer Sleeper: The Anti-Competitive Season
July represents Boston real estate's acknowledged dead zone. New listings drop 40-50% from April peak. Serious buyers are on vacation. Sellers who list in July are following life circumstances, not market timing—which means they're motivated. Historical data shows July buyers achieve 6-10% better pricing than April buyers while facing minimal competition. The catch: inventory is limited. Strategic buyers target life-circumstance sellers, tour during vacation weeks when competition is zero, and exploit the psychological advantage of being the only serious buyer in an empty market. Here's your complete July playbook.
