The Best Week To List Your House Is Almost Here – Are You Ready?
Planning to sell your house this year? Experts say the best week to list is fast approaching: April 13th-19th. A Realtor.com study analyzed market trends (excluding the outlier year 2020) and found this week offers sellers the best chance of success.
Why April 13-19?
Spring is always a strong selling season, but this week offers key advantages:
High Buyer Demand: More buyers are actively searching.
Faster Sales: Serious buyers want to move before summer.
Higher Sale Prices: The study suggests an average of $4,800 more than listing later in the spring, and $27,000 more than listing earlier in the year.
Get Ready Now!
To list within this prime window, act quickly. A real estate agent can help you.
Prepare your house for sale.
Prioritize high-impact tasks.
Identify quick fixes and upgrades to attract buyers.
Focus on quick, high-impact improvements—no major renovations needed. Small repairs that address potential buyer concerns are key. Examples include:
Fresh paint (high-impact, low cost)
Minor repairs (fix leaky faucets, etc.)
Decluttering and cleaning (makes a huge difference)
Not Ready Yet? No Problem!
If April 13-19 is too soon, don't worry! While this week is ideal, it's not the only good time to sell. Plenty of opportunities remain throughout the spring home-buying season.
Bottom Line:
While timing is important, preparation and pricing are equally crucial. If you're ready to sell, April 13-19 could be your best week.
