In this 13-month period the most sales were recorded in November 2025 (153), October 2025 (138), March 2026 (137) and April 2026 (130), and the fewest in August 2026 (65), January 2026 (71) and July 2026 (85). One year of figures is not enough to call a seasonal pattern, so treat it as a description of the past 13 months.
More sales in a month can mean more competition for buyers and more evidence for sellers’ pricing, while fewer sales mean less to compare. Either way, the most useful evidence for one property is recent sales of similar properties nearby. Ask your salesperson for those alongside the district figures.
