Get Ready: The Best Time To List Your House Is Almost Here

If you are considering selling your home this spring, you should start taking action as the optimal time to list your house is quickly approaching. According to realtor.com’s experts who analyzed seasonal patterns from the past few years (excluding 2020, which was unusual due to the pandemic), they have identified the most favorable week to list your house this year.

 “Home sellers on the fence waiting for that perfect moment to sell should start preparations, because the best time to list a home in 2023 is approaching quickly. The week of April 16-22 is expected to have the ideal balance of housing market conditions that favor home sellers, more so than any other week in the year.”

This is an excellent opportunity for you if you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to sell your house. However, it’s crucial to remember that before you list your home, you must prepare it. If you haven’t begun this process yet, you’ll need to act fast. Here are some essential things to keep in mind.

Work with an Agent To Determine Which Updates To Make

Begin by determining which updates you will focus on. In February, realtor.com surveyed over 1,200 individuals who had recently sold or planned to sell their homes and asked them which updates they had completed before listing their houses. The following graph illustrates their responses:

The data in the graph reveals that landscaping and painting were the most common updates homeowners made before listing their houses. To determine which projects are best suited for your objectives and local market, collaborate with a dependable real estate agent.

If Possible, Plan To Have Your House Staged

After completing any essential repairs and updates to your home, contemplate staging it. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 82% of buyer’s agents acknowledged that staging a home made it simpler for buyers to envision the property as a future residence. Moreover, nearly half of buyer’s agents noted that home staging influenced most buyers’ overall perception of the home. Staged homes typically sell faster and at a higher price because they assist potential buyers in more effortlessly picturing their future life in the home.
