If you’re thinking about selling your home in 2025, now is the time to start preparing. The best week to list your home this year is quickly approaching—April 13-19. If you want to get top dollar, attract serious buyers, and sell quickly, this is the prime opportunity to make your move.
Why This Week?
Market trends from 2018-2024 (excluding 2020) indicate that this particular week offers the ideal balance of seller-friendly conditions. It’s a rare sweet spot where home prices tend to peak, buyer demand surges, and competition from other sellers is still relatively low.
Let’s break down exactly why April 13-19 is the best time to sell your home this year.
1. Higher Selling Prices
Listing your home during this week means you could sell for significantly more than if you waited. On average, home prices during this week are:
• 1.1% higher than the average week throughout the year
• 6.7% higher than the start of the year
That could mean selling for $4,800 more than the average week and up to $27,000 more than in January! That’s a serious payday for listing at the right time.
2. More Buyer Interest = More Offers
The more eyes on your home, the better your chances of receiving multiple offers—and possibly a bidding war. Historically, homes listed this week see:
• 17.7% more views per listing than an average week
• More buyers in the market, as spring is when serious buyers start making moves
Many buyers have been holding off due to high mortgage rates, but with inventory improving and prices stabilizing, they’re coming back in force this spring. If rates dip, expect demand to surge even further.
3. Faster Sales = Less Hassle
Homes listed during this week tend to sell 17% faster than those listed at other times of the year. In 2024, homes sold nine days faster than the annual average during this period.
Why does this matter? A faster sale means:
Less stress
Fewer days of keeping your home spotless for showings
A quicker transition to your next chapter
4. Less Competition from Other Sellers
Spring is the hottest time for real estate, but not all sellers get the timing right. The April 13-19 window sees 13.2% fewer homes on the market compared to peak selling months like May and June.
Fewer listings mean:
Less competition
A better chance of standing out
Stronger negotiating power for you
5. Fewer Price Reductions
The longer a home sits on the market, the more likely sellers are to slash their prices. But during this prime selling week, price reductions are far less common—about 20.9% fewer than in an average week.
This means you can sell at a strong price without worrying about cutting it just to get an offer.
What’s Happening in the Market?
The 2024 housing market was challenging, with high mortgage rates and affordability concerns keeping many buyers on the sidelines. But 2025 is shaping up to be different:
More inventory – Buyers will have more options, but supply is still 20% below pre-pandemic levels, keeping it a seller’s market.
Lower mortgage rates expected – Rates have hovered around 7%, but experts predict they’ll drop into the mid-to-low 6% range by the end of 2025.
Pent-up demand – Many buyers who sat out the last two years are ready to jump in, especially if rates improve.
Thinking of Selling? Now Is the Time to Start Prepping
Most home sellers take at least a month to get their home ready to list. That means if you want to hit the April 13-19 window, you need to start now.
• Declutter and deep clean
• Make minor repairs and updates
• Boost curb appeal
• Work with a real estate professional to set the right price
