The Best Week To List Your House Is Almost Here

Are you thinking about moving? If so, now may be the perfect time to start the process. 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 (except for 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 the perfect time 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, this may be the peak sweet spot, no matter the week. And if you’ve 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. As Hannah Jones, Senior Economic Research Analyst at Realtor.com explains:

“The third week of April brings the best 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.”

But you’ll need to move quickly and lean on the pros to get in on the action. The Aaronson Group is the perfect go-to for planning to prep your house and get it on the market.  We will offer advice on balancing your target listing date with what you need to do from a repair and renovation standpoint. We can also 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 can focus on the more minor things that are easy to do and make a significant impact.

As an article from Investopedia says:
“You won’t have time for major renovations, so focus on quick repairs to address things that could deter potential buyers.”
Here are some specific examples from that article:
Remember, even if you’re not ready to list within the next few weeks, that’s okay. The window of opportunity doesn’t close when this weekend. Spring is the peak homebuying season, and it’s still a seller’s market, so you’ll be in the driver’s seat all season long.
