Don’t Miss This Prime Spring Window To Sell Your House

Realtor.com identified April 13–19 as the best week to list a home this year. But if that week has already passed, you might be wondering if it’s too late. The good news? It’s definitely not.

That was just one perspective based on specific research. Other sources have conducted similar studies and reached different conclusions. For example, Zillow’s latest analysis shows the ideal time to list may still be coming up.

“Search activity typically peaks before Memorial Day, as shoppers get serious about house hunting before their summer vacation and the new school year in the fall. By targeting late spring, sellers can get their home listed when the most shoppers are looking. When more buyers are competing for homes, sellers can command a higher price.”

Zillow isn’t alone in that view. ATTOM Data, after studying 59 million home sales over the last 13 years, also found that May continues to deliver strong results for sellers:

“Freshly compiled sales statistics from ATTOM demonstrate that home sellers continue to reap significant benefits from listing their properties during the month of May. Examination of home sales trends spanning thirteen years reveals that, on average, sellers are commanding 11.1 percent premium above the estimated market value.”

Bankrate backs this up too, noting that April and May remain top-performing months:

“Some patterns and trends usually do hold true throughout the year, and one is that spring continues to be the best time to sell. Sellers can net thousands of dollars more if they sell during the peak months of April and May. . .”

So, the prime window hasn’t closed. There’s still a strong opportunity to make a move this spring and benefit from today’s active market.

Just keep in mind that the best time to list your home can vary depending on your local market. Factors like current inventory, buyer activity, and how fast homes are selling all play a role. That’s where an experienced local agent comes in.

Bottom LineSpring is still the hottest season for real estate—and there’s time to make the most of it.
