Weather and seasons
Snowy winters and nor'easters bring demand for snow blowers and shovels, while humid summers drive air conditioner sales. Coastal storms can flood shoreline areas.
Work and industry
Higher education, healthcare, biotech, finance, technology, tourism, and commercial fishing are major sectors. Many leases turn over on September 1, which creates a flood of curbside and moving-sale listings each summer's end.

Buyer and seller tip
Plan around the September 1 lease turnover in the Boston area; it is the best time to find cheap furniture but the worst time to book a truck or find parking.
