If you’ve been thinking about selling your home this spring, timing isn’t just important—it can be profitable.
According to Realtor.com’s latest research, the week of April 13–19 stands out as the most strategic and profitable listing week of the entire year. Let’s break down why this week consistently outperforms others, and how you can leverage it to your advantage.
📈 1. More Buyers = More Demand
Buyer activity typically peaks in mid-April. Many house hunters have finished their tax returns, received their refunds, and are pre-approved to buy. Spring break is over, and families want to move before summer ends—creating a perfect storm of motivated buyers.
📉 2. Less Competition
Most sellers think May or June is the best time to list, which means mid-April offers a rare window when inventory is lower but buyer demand is strong. This allows your property to stand out, attract more attention, and reduce the chance of price reductions later.
⏳ 3. Faster Time on Market
According to national data, homes listed during April 13–19 sell about 9 days faster on average. Less time on the market means fewer showings, less stress, and a smoother transition to your next home.
💰 4. Higher Sale Prices
Listing during this week could mean more money in your pocket. Realtor.com reports that homes listed during this time sell for 1.1% more than the yearly average and up to 6.7% more than homes listed in early January. That could translate into $4,800–$27,000 more, depending on your price point.
📊 5. More Online Visibility
Homes listed in mid-April tend to receive 17.7% more views online, increasing your chances of generating multiple offers or stronger terms.
