The short version: list in December if you want the highest price, and expect February to be the softest month of the year.
Speed follows a slightly different calendar. Homes in Lafayette County, MS have gone under contract fastest in May. That is not always the same month prices peak, because the busiest month usually brings the most competition from other sellers too.
The most homes come on the market in August. More listings means more buyers looking, but also more homes competing with yours.
This is based on three years of Redfin's published sales data for the Lafayette County, MS area, through May 2026. It is a pattern, not a promise — one house in good condition priced correctly beats the calendar every time.
