One of the most common questions I’ve received over the years is about the best time to put a home on the market. 

The easy answer is springtime. Spring is probably the busiest time of the year for real estate; there are more sales than any other time of the year, there are more home buyers in the market than any other time; people are just thinking about real estate when it comes to spring. 

As we get into the summer, you’ll actually see activity slack off a bit and spike back up right before we go into fall, due to things like parents trying to get their kids into different school districts before the school year.

Fall and winter are slow especially as we near the holidays. As you can imagine, people don’t want to be moving over Thanksgiving or Christmas! 

The answer’s not that easy though, as there are some things to consider. While spring may be the best time, you are competing with a lot more houses on the market. At the end of the year, competition will be much lower, making it worthy of consideration. 

Our team is consistently working every month of the year. Even with the market slowing, our team has a track record of selling in the slower months, so if you have any questions, please reach out to us!
