When Is the Best Time to Sell Your Home?

One of the biggest questions I get asked is, “When is the best time to sell my home?” The short answer? Spring. If you want the highest price for your home, timing matters. Homes sell all year round, but spring tends to bring the best results. Buyers are more active, the weather is better, and families want to move before the next school year. Statistics also show that homes listed in the spring sell faster and for more money than those listed in other seasons.

According to the book Zillow Talk, the best time to list your home is between March and April. If you live in a warmer area, aim for early March. If you’re in a colder climate, like New England, waiting until April is best. Buyers start house hunting as the weather warms up, so listing at the right time gives you a competitive edge.

That said, you can still sell in the summer, fall, or winter and get a great price. Buyers are always looking, and with the right strategy, you can still attract top-dollar offers. The key is presentation and marketing. Regardless of when you sell, preparation is everything. A well-presented home sells faster and for more money. Focus on painting, staging, and curb appeal. A fresh coat of paint and proper staging make a huge difference. First impressions matter, so make sure your home looks great from the outside. Most importantly, work with an experienced agent who knows how to market your home to the right buyers.
