A recent survey conducted by Realtor.com and HarrisX revealed that April 16-22 is the best time to sell a house.
That week offers a combination of higher prices, fewer homes to compete, faster sales time, and strong buyer demand.
Realtor.com surveyed over 1,200 recent or potential home buyers in February to understand how sellers navigate the new environment.
- The survey found 60% of home sellers took up to three months to get their homes ready to list.
- Realtor.com expects homeowners who list during that week in April to get $48,000 more than they would have during the start of this year.
- The most common repairs carried out by homeowners were minor cosmetic updates, carpet/floor replacement, landscaping, and more.
