Not for the most part.

Not really.

Not as much as years ago!

To some degree, but not overwhelmingly.

Somewhat, because there are some highly sought after schools in our area. Buyers want to be in their new homes in time to register for the upcoming year.

ON the property maangement side, absolutely.  Lots of move in moveouts 30 days prior to and after school lets out. Going crazy just about now. 

On the sales side, it goes up and down but not necessarily with the school year, although I am pretty busy now. 

It sure does. Many sellers with kids do not want to close until school is out. Many buyers wth kids do not start looking until May or June even and want to be in before August to get settled a good month before school starts

Yes, Ginger! When school is out, vacations begin! There's a 3-4 week lull of family home buying & selling and then it picks back up. After school starts back again, families begin shopping again in an attempt to be in their new place by the holidays. 

For investors buying in school driven markets, yes.

              Right now  families in the $200K price range are scrambling to get into the "A rated" school zones.

It doesn't Ginger Harper !

Yes. Once school gets out, our buyers get really busy to find a new home before the school years starts in the fall.

no, just the Holidays.

Yes & no. It depends on the type of listing and location of the property.

People tend to want to be in before school starts! I have sold and closed in August many times!

It does affect the real estate marekt, but not in the way sellers tend to think.  Once school is out, a bunch of sellers hit the market and buyers tend to be in vacation mode.  The best time to sell in our market is when school is in session, be it fall, winter or early spring.  Summer is a dead zone.

Yes, especially on projects where we hire students.

not at all

Yes in that people with kids like to make their move before the school year starts.  

Nope, not one bit.

Yes the school year is quite a factor in getting listings by explaining that listing in time for the beginning of the school year is most beneficial.  Now that school begins in mid-August it really gets thing started earlier in the year than in years past.

There is a seasonal dip in activity as graduation season commences.  The summer break is a big time for buying houses to be in the new school district by the start of the school year.  Then there is the dip the last week or two of summer as last chance vacations happen and parents take their kids to college for the first time.

Only to a secondary level.

It does not.

Nope.

No more than other areas

Somewhere around mid-July until after Labor Day it is quieter.

No.

Not really.

Sure enough Ginger Harper .

Maybe some.

Slightly.... In the past after Oct it was slower until Jan. Since last year things are going like crazy home appreciate 30-35% more.....

No

we're in a college town and rentals improve along with two family sales in the summer, if they are walking distance to the Dean College....

No.  People are always looking to buy or sell.
