The best time to sell your house – and to maximize your profit – is on the doorstep, according to new data from RealTor.com.
The best time for sellers to take advantage of the ideal balance of the market conditions in 2025 is between April 13 and April 19.
At the moment Americans are struggling with a challenging real estate market – which means that Timing can make a real difference this year.
If 2025 follows the previous season trends, sellers that week must be able to earn $ 4,800 more compared to an average week.
They must also be able to earn $ 27,000 more than at the start of the year, because fewer people buy in January and tends to be home to pick up as the year progresses.
Sellers must also be able to sell their house nine days faster, according to the analysis, and see more buyers on the market compared to the beginning of 2025.
“Spring is usually a good time to list your house, and at a time when policy changes and economic turning points ask and create uncertainty, it can be useful to concentrate on what we know,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist on Realtor.com.
'Very predictable, houses mentioned in the spring are usually priced higher and sell them faster than the average week throughout the year. Although rates and inflation remain that the buyer and the confidence of the buyers and the seller can dampen, utilizing the seasonal trends in real estate is a proactive way to navigate what awaits us.

The best time to sell your house and make a profit is just around the corner, according to new data from RealTor.com
RealTor.com analyzed seasonal trends from 2018 to 2024 data -excluding 2020 because the market was dramatically influenced by the COVID -19 Pandemie.
It calculated a 'best time to sell' score for every week of the year, based on a combination of home statistics.
The mortgage interest rate is not included in the score, because movement of the mortgage interest rate has more to do with the greater economic context and does not follow a season pattern.
The mortgage interest rate remains higher than many buyers and sellers prefer. According to the latest data from Freddie Mac from 6 March, the average 30-year mortgage with a fixed rate is 6.63 percent.
But the market is starting to show encouraging signs that, according to Realtor.com, will worry between April 13 and April 19.
Housing list During this week, historically a median listing price has 1.1 percent higher than the average week during the year and 6.7 percent higher than the start of the year.
Thanks to the above -average demand, houses generally sell faster during this week.
Moreover, if the buyer absorbs faster than the inventory this spring, the market well can accelerate as buyers compete for fewer houses.
“Spring is usually a good time to sum up your house, and at a time when policy changes and economic turning points demand and create uncertainty, it can be useful to concentrate on what we know,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist at RealTor.com
Rates that have been introduced by the Trump government and continue to make the inflation that the buyer and the confidence of the buyers and the seller can dampen
Historically, this week also has 17.7 percent more views per listing than the typical week, according to Realtor.com.
The mortgage interest rate has stayed higher than 6 percent for more than two years and in response, many buyers stayed out of the market and feel 'locked' by cheaper rates.
After two years of high rates, however, it is likely that buyers will drip on the market this spring, seduced by improved inventory and the growth of the price in a large part of the country, the analysis showed.
If the mortgage interest rate also falls this spring, as Realtor.com predicts, it is possible that demand will rise earlier and with more strength.
There are also usually fewer sellers during this week compared to the typical week throughout the year, which would mean less competition.
The seller's activity is growing to grow from the beginning of the year to around November.
Although Realtor.com expects the mortgage interest to relieve this year, the road Vooruit is not certain given the current priorities and proposals from the Trump administration.
In particular, it noted that rates in the US can make much more expensive, which can harm the housing market, both through higher inflation – which keeps the mortgage interest high – and by limiting the housing activities.
