Is it worth going after?

That is a crowded phrase — a new shop is unlikely to reach page 1 on it directly, but the longer variants below are where the same buyers are reachable. 50% of the first page is bought rather than earned, so organic slots are scarcer than the listing count alone suggests.

Questions
How competitive is "victorian" on Etsy?
1,287,827 listings currently compete for "victorian", which is high for Etsy. 50% of the first page is paid placement, so ranking organically means competing against sellers who are also buying the top slots.
When does "victorian" sell best?
Demand peaks in February, averaged over the last five years, and bottoms out in August. Etsy needs a few weeks to index and rank a listing, so publishing four to six weeks before February catches the climb rather than the peak itself.
What do "victorian" listings sell for?
The median price across 12 listings on page 1 is $186.75, with most between $23.24 and $414.65. That is what buyers searching this phrase are already used to seeing.
Where do these numbers come from?
Demand and seasonality are measured with Google Trends for the US. Listing counts, pricing and ad share are read from Etsy's own search results. Nothing here is an estimated monthly search volume — Etsy does not publish search volume, and any figure claiming to be one is a guess.
