Early Spring Is The Best Time To Sell

Everyone with a home to sell hopes to get the most money they can for it. That’s why sellers usually make repairs, remove clutter, clean, and get the house ready before listing it. But while prepping the house is important, so is choosing the best time to put it on the market. And, according to one new analysis from the National Association of Realtors’ consumer website, that time is approaching. In fact, based on last year’s trends, homeowners who list their homes between April 13 and April 19 could potentially make an extra $27,000 on their sale. Danielle Hale, the website’s chief economist, says spring is always a good time to sell. “Spring is typically a good time to list your home …,” Hale said. “Very predictably, homes listed in the spring tend to be priced higher and sell faster than the average week throughout the year.” It’s true. Historically, homes actively for sale in mid-April sell about nine days faster than the average week.
