Seasonality: The Best Month to List in Temple

What is the best month to list a home in Temple? A seasonal analysis of 24 months of data reveals that November consistently delivers the highest sales volume and strong pricing. ALEX Intelligence applied seasonal decomposition to closed sales from November 2024 through October 2026 to identify recurring patterns. The data shows that November is the peak month for activity, with 27 homes closing in November 2025 and 22 homes closing in November 2026. This volume significantly outpaces other months; for instance, January typically sees only 16 sales. Pricing also tends to be robust during this period. The median sale price in November 2025 was $260,101, and in November 2026 it reached $256,872. These figures are generally higher than the winter lows seen in January, where prices dropped to $230,422 in 2026. While October 2026 saw a dip with 19 sales at a median of $223,464, the historical trend suggests that listing in late fall can capitalize on steady buyer demand before the year ends. The market cycle shows a clear rhythm: activity builds through spring and summer, peaks in the fall, and remains elevated into November before tapering off in December and January. Sellers looking to maximize both speed and price should consider this seasonal window when planning their listing strategy. Want to see this home?
