If you’re thinking about selling your home this year, you might want to mark your calendar for April 13-19. According to Realtor.com’s Best Time to Sell report, this specific week offers a golden opportunity for sellers—potentially bringing in $4,800 more per sale, a 9-day faster closing time, and 13.2% less competition than the average week.

Spring has always been a prime selling season, but 2025 is shaping up to be especially promising. If market trends hold, homes listed during this week could see an average of $27,000 more in sale price compared to those listed at the beginning of the year. With buyers re-entering the market and inventory still relatively low, this could be the perfect time to sell.

Why April 13-19 Is the Best Week to Sell in 2025

1. Higher Home Prices

Spring listings typically fetch better prices, and this year is no exception. Historically, homes listed in mid-April see 1.1% higher prices than the yearly average and 6.7% higher than early-year listings. If 2025 follows suit, sellers could pocket thousands more.

2. Faster Sales

Homes listed during this prime window tend to sell about nine days faster than average, thanks to increased buyer activity. With demand expected to rise while inventory remains constrained, a well-priced home could move quickly.

3. More Buyer Interest

Spring brings more buyers into the market, and this week is particularly strong. Listings during this period historically receive 17.7% more views than the average week, increasing the chances of multiple offers and better terms for sellers.

4. Less Competition

Inventory tends to build throughout the year, meaning sellers who list early can take advantage of 13.2% fewer competing listings. As more homeowners wait until late spring or summer to sell, those who act now will have a better chance of standing out.

What to Expect in the 2025 Housing Market

Mortgage Rates & Affordability

Mortgage rates are expected to settle in the mid-to-low 6% range by the end of the year. While this is still higher than many buyers would prefer, it’s an improvement over the last two years and could encourage more buyers to enter the market.

Inventory & Competition

While inventory levels are rising, they are still lower than pre-pandemic levels. Sellers who wait until later in the year may face more competition from other listings, making early spring an attractive time to sell.

Economic Uncertainty

Factors like inflation, interest rates, and potential economic policies could influence buyer and seller confidence. While home prices are expected to grow, delays in rate cuts or unexpected policy changes could impact affordability. Selling sooner rather than later may be a smart move.

Thinking of Selling? Act Now!

With home values peaking, demand rising, and competition still low, April 13-19 could be the best week of 2025 to sell your home. If you’re considering making a move, now is the time to start prepping your listing.
