When is the best time to sell?” It’s one of the most searched real estate questions out there—and after more than ten years in this business, here’s the truth: the best time to sell isn’t tied to a season. It’s tied to supply and demand in your specific market and price point.
Most people think spring is automatically the best time to list, and while it can be a great window, it’s also when everyone else is listing their homes. That creates more competition, more pricing pressure, and often longer days on market. On the flip side, listing during a lower-inventory period like pre-spring or fall/winter, can actually put you in a stronger position if buyer demand is still high.
The smartest sellers pay attention to what buyers are watching: interest rates, monthly payment calculators, average days on market, and recent price reductions. When those indicators are in your favor—when buyer activity is high and inventory is tight—that’s your window. It doesn’t matter if it’s January or July. What matters is timing your sale around market dynamics, not the calendar.
If you want a clear, customized report that shows exactly when demand peaks for homes like yours, just message me. I’ll break it down using real-time data so you can make a smart, strategic decision—and walk away with the best possible result.
