The Optimal Time to List Your House Is Approaching Fast

Are you considering a change? If yes, this might just be the ideal moment to begin.

Are you considering a change? If yes, this might just be the ideal moment to begin. That’s because experts say the best week to list your house is just around the corner.


A recent study conducted by Realtor.com examined housing market trends spanning the past several years (with the exception of 2020, since it was an unusual year) and identified April 14-20 as the best week to list your house this year.

“Every year, one week stands out from the rest as that perfect stretch of time when it’s great to be a home seller. This year, the week of April 14–20 is the best time to sell—that is, if sellers want to see lots of interest in their homes, sell quickly, and pocket some extra cash, according to Realtor.com® data.”

Here’s why this is significant for you. While selling during the spring market is generally advantageous, this particular timeframe may represent the pinnacle of opportunity. If you’ve been postponing your plans, waiting for the perfect moment to take action, this could be the push you’ve been waiting for. As Hannah Jones, Senior Economic Research Analyst at Realtor.com, elaborates:

“The third week of April brings the best combination of housing market factors for sellers. The best week offers higher buyer demand, lower competition [from other sellers], and fewer price reductions than the typical week of the year.”

However, if you aim to participate in this opportunity, prompt action is essential, and seeking assistance from professionals is advisable. Your local Benson & Mangold real estate agent is the ideal resource for devising a strategy to prepare your house and list it effectively.

They can provide guidance on aligning your desired listing date with necessary repairs and renovations. Additionally, they can assist you in prioritizing tasks so you can determine what needs to be addressed first.

For instance, if your home is already in good condition, you can concentrate on minor enhancements that can yield significant results. As highlighted in an article by Investopedia:

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

Below are a few specific examples provided in the article:


Keep in mind that it’s perfectly fine if you’re not prepared to list your property in the next few weeks. The opportunity remains open beyond this timeframe. Spring continues to be the prime season for homebuying, maintaining a seller’s market, and ensuring you remain in control throughout the entire season.
