Thinking About Selling? Here’s What You Should Know

If you’re planning a move, one of the first big decisions is when to sell your current home. And with today’s shifting market conditions, timing your sale can feel a little tricky. While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, there are some smart strategies that can help you make the most of your sale.

Here’s a quick look at what matters—and what doesn’t—when deciding the best time to list.

❌ When Not to Sell

Let’s start with the season to skip: winter holidays.
Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, most buyers are focused on family, travel, and holiday expenses—not house hunting. This time of year tends to bring fewer showings and lower offers. Unless you have to sell, it's best to hold off listing in December and January.

🌸 The Best Season to Sell

Spring is often the sweet spot for sellers. The weather’s nice, homes show better, and buyers are out in full force after the holidays.
Benefits of selling in spring include:

• Better curb appeal (hello, blooming landscaping)

• Buyers planning to move before the next school year

• Increased demand = more potential offers

Keep in mind, though—spring also means more competition. That’s why strong marketing, professional staging, and the right pricing strategy are key to making your home stand out.

📅 The Best Day to List

Want a pro tip? List your home on a Thursday.

Why? Homes listed on Thursday get more weekend showings—and more attention right out of the gate. By Saturday (the busiest day for showings), your home is fresh on the market, and that sense of urgency can lead to stronger, faster offers.

The less time your home spends on the market, the more leverage you have when it’s time to negotiate.
