In the "WHERE TO START?" Timeline we advised you should start exploring your options to sell your home within 6 months of wanting to be moved out. But when is the best time to sell a home? Is there a time of year that yields the most profit?

​

We have provided a chart on the market timeline of real estate in general.  The "busy season" every year usually starts in early spring (March) and ends mid summer (End of July). This pattern makes sense because this is when school is getting out and people want to move. Most jobs know college semesters end in April-- May, residency programs end in June- July, the United state has is structured in such a way it is natural to move in spring - summertime. This also makes sense weather wise- since it is easier to move during milder, dryer weather periods. Also, no one wants to move during the holiday season (October-December) unless they have to or there is a strong motivation to move.

​

Because of this pattern there is more supply and demand during those months, so it is easier to sell and typically you sell at the highest profit margins during these times. Getting under contract in April- Early May is when demand is highest year to year.
