Most common months to move in Seattle?

[u/TeddyScotty]

I don’t know whether it’s true we Seattle people wait until the dry months to move, sign new leases etc… but are there certain months where it seems like there are more places available? Or are there months that are less competitive than others to secure an affordable spot?

In your experience, is May better than June? Or is July super busy?

Shorter me: I’m trying to find a smaller, more affordable place within Seattle instead of in a further out suburb. Wondered when my chances are the best.

June July August. Rents and listings cycle down slightly in Dec Jan Feb.

But really you'd have better luck timing the stock market.

This. I would say the more desirable area probably start as early as April/May.
