Spring is the real estate industry’s most dynamic season, and the smartest agents know that data isn’t just something you glance at — it’s a tool for strategic action.

According to NAR, 42% of home sales in 2024 occurred between March and June, proving this season’s outsized influence on annual production. Agents who leverage that momentum with data-driven insights outperform those who rely on instinct alone.

What to Track (and Why It Matters)

Focus on local inventory levels, days on market, median price shifts, and buyer demand by zip code.

A recent Zillow report found that homes listed in early May sell six days faster on average — a clear signal to align your campaigns with peak interest. Use these insights to time “Just Listed” mailers, retarget ads, and update your seller scripts with confidence.

Data = Confidence in Conversations

Buyers and sellers are flooded with headlines. When you can explain how your neighborhood’s days-on-market dropped 15% compared to last spring, you instantly differentiate yourself.

Make Marketing Decisions That Perform

Use your MLS or tools like Altos Research or Keeping Current Matters to spot hyper-local trends and translate them into smarter marketing.

This isn’t about data overload — it’s about clarity, timing, and earning trust. The spring market is loud. Be the voice backed by facts.
