It’s widely known that home showings and offers take a backseat around holidays. But which holidays come with the biggest drops in transaction levels — at the national level and in your local market?
Explore Inman’s interactive analysis of weekly pending sales and new listings data from Zillow Research below.
As seen in the tool above, the weeks of Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day holidays see one-week drops roughly half as large as the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas, followed by an immediate bounce-back a week later.
Other holidays — from MLK Day in January to Columbus Day in October — have little to no effect on pending sales, according to an Inman review of the Zillow data.
Choose different holidays in the tool above, and select your market to see how it compares to the national scene at large.
