The best time to sell your house – and maximize your profit – is just around the corner, according to new data from Realtor.com.
The best time for sellers to benefit from the ideal balance of market conditions in 2025 is between April 13 and April 19.
Right now, Americans are grappling with a challenging real estate market – which means that timing can make a real difference this year.
If 2025 follows the previous seasonal trends, sellers should be able to make $4,800 more on their home that week compared to an average week.
They should also be able to make $27,000 more than at the start of the year, as fewer people are buying in January and homebuying tends to pick up as the year goes on.
Sellers should also be able to sell their home nine days faster, according to the analysis, and see more buyers on the market compared to the beginning of 2025.
‘Spring is typically a good time to list your home, and at a time when policy changes and economic turning points create questions and uncertainty, it can be helpful to focus on what we do know,’ said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com.
‘Very predictably, homes listed in the spring tend to be priced higher and sell faster than the average week throughout the year. While tariffs and inflation continue to be concerns that could dampen buyer and seller confidence, harnessing the seasonal trends in real estate is a proactive way to navigate what’s ahead.’

It calculated a ‘Best Time to Sell’ score for each week of the year, based on a combination of housing metrics.
Mortgage rates are not included in the score as mortgage rate movement has more to do with the larger economic context, and does not follow a seasonal pattern.
