Planning to Sell in 2025? Here’s the Best Week to List Your Home

If you’ve been considering putting your house on the market, you might be wondering about the best time to do so. Historically, the week of April 13-19 has been a standout period for sellers, according to a Realtor.com analysis of market trends over the past years. But if you’ve just missed this window, don’t fret! The spring season is still in full swing and offers numerous opportunities to successfully list and sell your home.

Why is mid-April typically ideal for home sellers?

• Higher Sale Prices: Homes listed during this week have historically sold for approximately 6.7% more than those listed at the start of the year. This trend underscores the potential for higher returns on your investment during this peak listing period.
• Enhanced Visibility: Listings can receive up to 17.7% more views during this week compared to an average week. More eyes on your property means a higher chance of finding the right buyer quickly.
• Quicker Transactions: Properties tend to sell about 9 days faster than usual. This can be a significant advantage if you’re looking to make a swift and efficient sale.

Even if the ideal week has just passed, the remaining spring months continue to offer great potential for those looking to sell. Here’s how you can still capitalize on the bustling spring market:

How to make the most of the spring selling season:

1. Preparation is key: Ensure your home is looking its best. Consider minor renovations or touch-ups that could enhance appeal and add value.

2. Timing your sale: While mid-April is optimal, demand remains strong throughout spring. Monitor local market trends with your Realtor to choose the best possible listing date.

3. Marketing your home effectively: Utilize high-quality photos, virtual tours, and staging techniques to make your listing stand out. Ensure your home’s online presence is strong with detailed descriptions and appealing visuals.
