Are you thinking about making a move? If so, now may be the perfect time to start the process. That’s because the best week to list your house is just around the corner.

A recent Realtor.com study looked at housing market trends over the past several years (with the exception of 2020, since it was an unusual year), and found the best week to put your house on the market this year is April 14-20:

“Every year, one week stands out from the rest as that perfect stretch of time when it’s great to be a home seller. This year, the week of April 14–20 is the best time to sell—that is, if sellers want to see lots of interest in their homes, sell quickly, and pocket some extra cash according to Realtor.com® data.”

Here’s why this matters for you. While the spring market is a great time to sell no matter the week, this may be the perfect sweet spot. If you’ve been putting your plans on the back burner, waiting for the right time to act, this could be the nudge to make your move happen. As Hannah Jones, Senior Economic Research Analyst at Realtor.com explains:

“The third week of April brings the best combination of housing market factors for sellers. The best week offers higher buyer demand, lower competition [from other sellers], and fewer price reductions than the typical week of the year.”

‼️ If you want to get in on the action, you’ll need to move quickly and lean on a professional who can ACTUALLY get buyers competing for your property. If you’re thinking about selling your property, I’d love to be that agent for you.

And remember, even if you’re not ready to list within the next couple of weeks, that’s okay. The window of opportunity doesn’t close when this week ends. Spring is the peak home buying season and it’s still a seller’s market, so you’ll be in the driver’s seat all season long.
