As we look back at 2011 and forward to 2012, it makes sense to plan out the year according to the rhythms of the industry. Year over year, it seems that the busiest months for each phase of the business follow a logical order. According to LeapRE’s data, showings spike early on in the year, contracts spike shortly thereafter, and closings spike in late summer – just in time to finance a family vacation. The year 2011 ended with an uptick in closings in December…is that a good omen for 2012?
