"The prime selling market occurs during Q2 on Cape Cod as vacationers and second home buyers seek properties to enjoy the summer months by the beach. Following the spring buying frenzy, a more typical pre-COVID lull was observed in June and early July, with clients preoccupied with graduations and weddings. I am anticipating an increase in inventory based on client inquiries with the next busy market on Cape Cod commencing around mid- August and into early fall."
