The Best Week of the Year to List Your House

Are you ready to make some serious moves? Well, buckle up because the stars are aligning, and it’s time to get your house on the market. Why? Because the experts have spoken, and they say the best week to list your house is just around the corner!

According to a recent study by Realtor.com, after combing through housing market trends over the years (except for that one wild ride in 2020), they’ve pinpointed the golden week: April 14-20. Yes, you heard it right – mark your calendars, folks!

“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.”

Now, you might be wondering, why is this week such a big deal? Well, hold onto your hats because I’m about to drop some knowledge bombs on you. Picture this: higher buyer demand, lower competition from other sellers, and fewer price reductions. Sounds like a dream, right? But guess what? It’s about to become your reality!

If you’ve been twiddling your thumbs, waiting for the perfect moment to unleash your listing, consider this your wake-up call. As Hannah Jones, Senior Economic Research Analyst at Realtor.com, puts it:

“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.”
