This Is the Best Time To Sell Your Home: Lower Mortgage Rates and Inventory Bump 'Inject Life Back Into the Market'
Briefly

As spring approaches, home sellers are encouraged to list their properties during the week of April 13-19, identified as the most favorable time by Realtor.com economists. This week typically experiences increased buyer demand, faster market pacing, and lower competition, resulting in potential higher sale prices. Historical data indicates homes listed during this period yield prices approximately 1.1% higher than average weeks and 6.7% higher than the year's beginning. Strategies suggest sellers could earn about $4,800 more if listing their homes then, with a significant boost in buyer interest expected, enhancing the likelihood of quicker sales.
"At a national level, this week represents a balanced selection of market conditions that favor sellers," says Hannah Jones, Realtor.com senior economic research analyst. "By balancing prices, inventory, demand, and market pace, sellers are expected to have a better-than-average selling experience by taking advantage of the best week."
"The number of buyers browsing a listing can determine how many offers a home gets and how quickly it sells. The more buyers looking at a home, the better for the seller," Jones says.
