Why 2025 Might Be the Perfect Year to Sell Your Home
If you've been waiting for the right time to sell, this could be your year. A recent NerdWallet survey found that 15% of people are planning to buy a home this year—the highest percentage ever recorded in this survey (check out the graph below!).
This is a big deal because, since 2020, that number has typically stayed between 9-11%. This uptick suggests that buyer demand hasn’t vanished; instead, it’s been building up, just waiting for the right moment to re-enter the market.
Now, we’re not talking about the kind of buying frenzy we saw a few years ago. But it does indicate more activity than last year, which is great news if you're considering selling.
What’s Bringing Buyers Back?
A portion of buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines are finally making their move. Maybe they’re feeling more financially secure, maybe they’ve reached their savings goals, or maybe they’re just tired of waiting. Whatever the reason, this year is their year—and that means more eyes on homes like yours.
In fact, that same NerdWallet survey revealed that 54% of those potential buyers are already house hunting online. That means they’re gearing up for spring, which historically marks the busiest season for real estate.
Why This Matters for You
If you’re thinking about selling, now is the time to make sure your home stands out. With the right strategy—pricing it correctly, staging it well, and maximizing marketing exposure—you can make sure your home gets in front of the right buyers at the right time.
The Takeaway
This year, more buyers are ready to move, and you can position your home to be one of the first they see.
