Do I get a better deal on a house when it is 120 degrees?

I live in La Quinta, California, part of the Caifornia desert area where the summers are off the charts hot. I live here and work here year round. Summers are busy for me as over half the agents leave for the summer.

Many people think that if they come here when it is over 110 degrees, they get a better deal on a house. I tell them:

1. The sellers don't care how hot it is as most of them are not even here.

2. There is usually less competition on offers, but the people that are here are serious.

3. Usually in the summer we have less homes to choose from as many people take their home off the market when it is so hot. They feel there are less buyers when it is hot.

4. I like to sell homes in the summer, but as far as the price, the heat does not really matter.
