ATTOM’s newly released Best Days to Sell A Home Analysis reveals that over the span of the last 13 years, the months of May, February, and April have consistently yielded the highest seller premiums in home sales – making this month the time to sell your home.
According to ATTOM’s latest analysis of more than 59 million single-family home and condo sales spanning from 2011 to 2023, listing a property in May, February, or April often results in higher seller premiums. This data underscores that the period from early in the year through summer marks not only the peak season for home buying but also an advantageous time for sellers to showcase their properties. Therefore, now could be the opportune moment to consider placing your home on the market.
