Demand for commercial real estate services exhibits seasonality. Demand can experience dips during winter and summer months due to reduced business activity and holidays. The holiday season often sees increased demand for retail spaces, and spring is considered an ideal time for listing commercial real estate. This seasonality influences leasing activity, rental rates, and negotiation dynamics across different property types.
