May Flowers Bring Power Hours: Negotiating When Sellers Feel Invincible
May represents seller confidence peak—two months of spring fever create belief that premium pricing is justified. Properties listed in March-April that haven't sold face reality: continue at current price or reduce? Memorial Day weekend (May 23-26, 2026) marks psychological inflection—post-holiday represents "last chance" before June's acknowledged slowdown. Smart buyers target overpriced holdovers (45-60 days on market), pursue properties in second-tier towns (less competition), and wait for late-May price reductions. Historical pattern: patience pays—May buyers who wait until week 3-4 achieve 3-5% better pricing than early-May buyers. Here's your complete May strategy.
