The Best Week To List Your House Is Almost Here

If you're plotting to put your "For Sale" sign up this year, better start buffing up that doorknob! The clock's ticking, and according to the pros, there's a golden week on the horizon for listing your house.

Digging through heaps of data (with 2020 sitting on the bench due to its oddball nature), a Realtor.com study spotlighted April 13–19 as this year’s sweet spot for sellers:

"...we’ve identified April 13-19 as the best week to list for sellers...a seller listing a well-priced, move-in ready home is likely to find success. Because spring is generally the high season for real estate activity and buyers are more plentiful earlier rather than later in the year, listing earlier in the spring raises a seller’s odds of a successful sale."

Why This Particular Week?

Spring doesn't just breathe life into nature—it's also a blooming season for home sales. But this particular mid-April week might just be your golden ticket. According to Realtor.com, here’s what this prime time could mean for you:

• More eyeballs on your home, thanks to the seasonal surge in buyer demand.
• A quicker sale, as buyers are keen to seal the deal before summer kicks in.
• A plumper paycheck at closing, with homes fetching on average $4,800 more during this week—and up to $27,000 more than earlier in the season.

Gearing Up for the Golden Week

If you're eyeing this prime window, there's no time to waste. Here’s where a stellar real estate agent becomes invaluable. They’ll help you:

• Pinpoint what needs doing to make your home market-ready.
• Tackle the big-impact tasks pronto.
• Consider whether any quick tweaks or minor upgrades could sweeten the deal for prospective buyers.

Focus on swift, impactful updates if your home is already pretty as a picture, as suggested by Investopedia:

“You won’t have time for any major renovations, so focus on quick repairs to address things that could deter potential buyers.”
