Did You Miss the Best Time to Sell? Not Even Close.
You may have heard that the week of April 13–19 was the prime time to list your home, according to Realtor.com. But if that week has passed and you’re still on the fence, don’t worry—your window of opportunity is far from closed.
Different real estate platforms use their own data and analysis, so “best week” can vary depending on the source. For example, Zillow's latest findings suggest the sweet spot for sellers is actually in late May, when buyer activity tends to peak right before summer plans and school-year transitions kick in.
In fact, their data shows sellers who list during this time are likely to see stronger offers thanks to increased competition among buyers. More eyes on your listing = more potential for top dollar.
And Zillow isn’t alone—ATTOM Data reviewed over a decade’s worth of sales and found May listings historically earn sellers an average of 11.1% above market value. Bankrate backs it up too, highlighting April and May as months where sellers consistently outperform the rest of the year.
So what does this all mean for you?
There’s still time to get your home on the market while demand is high—and the payoff could be big. Of course, the right time to list also depends on what’s happening locally. Buyer interest, inventory levels, and pricing trends can vary neighborhood to neighborhood, which is why teaming up with a local expert is essential.
Bottom line:
Spring is still in full swing, and so is the market. Let’s talk about your goals and put a plan in place that works for you.
