If you have been waiting to put your home on the market, a new report by Realtor.com economists is pointing to the week of April 13–19 as the best time to sell. In a typical week, a seller who lists a median priced property during that week could gain $4,800 more; and when analyzing these seasonal trends over years, the property would list $27,000 more than at the beginning of the year. Even better, a typical seller should expect to see their home purchased 9 days faster during the week of April 13–19.
This is also a great time for buyers to make sure they are pre-approved and ready for more homes entering the market soon. This is prime time for buyers to use their tax refund for a down payment, or use one of the many amazing down payment assistance options, including up to $2,500 in assistance on Conventional loans (for those who quality).
