When Is A Perfect Time To Sell Your Home?

by Michelle Plunkett, Associate Broker 01/28/2019

If you're ready to sell your home, you may wonder if the time is right. Timing is truly everything when you’re selling a home.  Even with time constraints, there are a few strategies to employ that can help you find the sweet spot in your time frame.

The Day Of The Week Matters

 

Most buyers start looking for homes when they have free time which is generally on the weekend. That means the end of the week- preferably a Thursday- is a good day to pick to list your home. Homes that were listed earlier in the week will be farther down on the search page. Buyers will be more likely to see your listing first the later in the week that it’s listed.   

 

Consider Your Needs

 

While timing is a good marketing strategy to sell your home, you need to go by your own timeline. If you need to move due to a job change or other life circumstances, you can’t wait to sell. There are pros to selling during many different times of the year; it just may not be as busy or competitive on the buyer’s side of things. Selling your home fast might not be a sure thing. No matter what time of year you decide to sell your home, just make sure it’s inviting to buyers.
