In most years, the best time to list a home for sale is May. But last year, the optimal time to put your house on the market came a little later, in June. And the housing market could be on track for a similar peak in 2024.
Homes listed last year during the first half of June typically sold for $7,700 higher prices, according to a new report from Zillow. If you're a homeowner thinking about selling this spring, you may want to wait, as June could be a seller-friendly month once again in 2024, the report says.
Spring and early summer are usually the most active times for the housing market, and sellers can benefit from higher buyer demand. Home sales rise during this time of year because the school year is winding down and warmer weather makes it easier for households to move, among other factors.
