Thinking of Selling? The Best Week to List Your Home Is Coming Up!
If selling your home is on your to-do list this year, now is the time to start preparing. Experts agree that the best week to list your home is just around the corner. A recent Realtor.com study analyzed years of housing market trends (excluding 2020) and found that April 13–19 is expected to be the optimal window to put your house on the market in 2024:
“we’ve identified April 13-19 as the best week to list for sellers . . . a seller listing a well-priced, move-in ready home is likely to find success. Because spring is generally the high season for real estate activity and buyers are more plentiful earlier rather than later in the year, listing earlier in the spring raises a seller’s odds of a successful sale.”
Why Is This Week So Important?
Spring is always a strong season for sellers, but listing during this prime time can offer even greater advantages:
- Higher Buyer Demand – More buyers actively searching for homes means more eyes on your listing.
- Faster Sales – Serious buyers want to close before summer, increasing the likelihood of quick offers.
- Top Dollar for Your Home – The study estimates that listing this week could mean an average of $4,800 more for your sale (and $27,000 more than listing earlier in the year).

Small Projects That Make a Big Difference
- Freshen up curb appeal – power wash your exterior, plant seasonal flowers, and refresh mulch.
- Touch up paint and trim – neutral colors can brighten spaces and appeal to more buyers.
- Fix minor repairs – leaky faucets, loose doorknobs, or scuffed floors shouldn’t be overlooked.
- Update lighting – bright, inviting spaces feel more modern and move-in ready.
- Declutter and stage key rooms – maximize space and highlight your home’s best features.
