BOSTON—Redfin divines the housing market based in no small part on the weather: "[I]n January, our agents showed 12% more homes than we did last January. 'Buyers took a very short holiday this year, and due to this crazy winter with almost no snow, the buying season is picking up speed about two months earlier than it did last year,' according to Hannah Driscoll, agent on Redfin’s Boston Metro team. A 9.7% increase in the number of homes for sale in January adds some fuel to the buyers’ fire, and because in real estate supply drives demand, this supports the notion that sales will rebound in the coming months."
