According to research from ATTOM Data Solutions (a multi-sourced national property data warehouse), the month of MAY is the best time to maximize your sale price and minimize time on the market; the first half of May is ideally the best time. ATTOM has analyzed the sale of 14.7 million homes from 2011 to 2017 and the researches have found that the largest premiums, at 5.9%, above estimated market value, occured in May! Not only do you maximize the sale price of your home, homes listed in the first half of May tend to sell at least 2 weeks faster than the average.
As you can see from the trends above, people tend to shop for homes as the weather gets warmer, so prepping your home in the winter months to sell in spring usually makes sense. With tax refunds in buyer's pockets, nicer weather for moving in the forecast, and summer break from the kids’ school coming up, it’s easy to see why spring is typically the most popular time to buy and sell.
