Getting ready to sell a home can be a lot of work. Depending on the condition of the house, there may be a need for some repairs, touchups, and upgrades before it hits the market. Which is to say, selling a house requires a plan. It's not something you do on a whim.
However, for those of you who have been planning to sell your house this spring and are wondering when exactly you should list it, a new report from the National Association of Realtors' consumer website has your answer. According to their analysis, the week of April 16-22 is the best time this spring to sell a home. Why? The combination of high buyer demand, fewer homes for sale, higher prices, and faster sales is best in early spring.
Danielle Hale, chief economist for the website, explains. “Many home shoppers kick off their search in the early spring and they often beat the majority of home sellers to the punch,” Hale said. “For this reason, sellers who list on the earlier side will get more buyer attention and therefore be more likely to sell quickly and for a higher price.”
