Thinking about selling your house? You might want to listen up. Timing can be everything, and when you list your property could make a serious difference to your wallet.

Even though mortgage rates haven’t budged much, something’s happening. More houses are popping up for sale, and buyers are starting to bite. Sales are up. Is there a sweet spot for sellers? Absolutely.

The Magic Week? Mid-April.

A new report says you could potentially pocket up to $27,000 extra if you list your home during one specific week in April: April 13th to 19th.

Researchers looked at years of data. They wanted to find that perfect mix of high prices and eager buyers. And that week in April? Apparently, it hits the mark.

One expert even said it’s “the right time of year to list and to get ahead. ”

Why That Week?

During that week in April, several things happen:

• Home prices tend to be higher than average.
• You’ll see more people actively searching for homes.
• Houses tend to sell faster.

Hold on. .. Another Report Says May?

Here’s the thing: not everyone agrees. Another report points to the final two weeks of May as the prime time, potentially netting you around $5,600 more than average.

And get this: the best time to list can even depend on where you live! New York? Early May might be your best bet. San Francisco? Late April could be your golden ticket.

Spring: A Good Time for Everyone

One thing experts seem to agree on: spring is usually a hot time for both buyers and sellers.

Why? Buyers are often trying to settle in before the school year starts. And sellers? Well, their homes just look better with blooming flowers and green lawns.

As one expert put it, “It’s sort of an ideal time for both buyers and for sellers. ”

The Market is Moving

Home prices are on the rise. And there are more houses available than there were last year. If you’re even thinking about selling, now might be the time to start planning.
