Are You Thinking About Making a Move?
If so, now may be the perfect time to start the process. That’s because experts say 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, 2024:
“Every year, one week stands out from the rest as that perfect stretch of time when it’s great to be a home selleer. 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.”
Why This Matters For You
While the spring market is a great time to sell no matter the week, this may be the peak spot. And if you have been putting your plans on the back burner and waiting for the right time to act, this could be the nudge you need to make your move happen.
But, if you want to get in on the action, you will need to move quickly. I can help you figure out a plan to prep your house and get it on the market. I can offer advice to balance your target listing date with what you need to do from a repair and renovation standpoint. I can walk you through exactly how to prioritize your list so you know what to tackle first. For example, if your house is already in good shape, you will be able to really focus in on the smaller things that are easy to do and make a big impact.
Just remember, even if you are 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 homebuying season and it’s still a seller’s market.
