Sellers often tell me they want their grass to green up before selling their homes. Believe it or not, the best time to list your home for the last several years has been in February, March, and April…before the grass gets green!
Why is this? Buyers return to house hunting in February while most Sellers wait until June to bring their homes to market. Check out the graph below where Buyers are represented in green and Sellers are in yellow.
Does this mean you should do whatever you can to list your home in the spring? Perhaps but, timing doesn’t matter as much as making sure your home is 100% ready to wow buyers. However, if you’re ready in the spring, you’ll enjoy strong buyer demand.
If you find yourself in a daydream about spending next Christmas in a new home and could use a friend to show you the path to get there, you know who to call.
