As a broker associate in the vibrant San Diego market, understanding the best time to list your home can make a significant difference in your selling experience. According to Realtor.com’s annual report, the week of April 13-19 in 2025 emerges as the optimal time to sell. Here are five key insights from their analysis that can help you maximize your home sale.
1. Increased Sale Prices
Homes listed during mid-April tend to secure higher sale prices. Historically, this week results in a 1.1% increase in sale prices compared to the average week and a substantial 6.7% increase over January listings. This timing aligns with peak seasonal pricing, offering sellers a greater chance to achieve top dollar.
2. Peak Buyer Demand
During this week, buyer interest surges, with properties receiving 17.7% more views per listing. This heightened demand means more competitive offers and potentially multiple bids, leading to a faster and more lucrative sale.
3. Faster Sales
April 13-19 isn’t just about higher prices; it’s also about speed. Homes listed during this period sell approximately 9 days faster than during other weeks, reducing carrying costs and attracting stronger offers from motivated buyers.
4. Lower Seller Competition
Entering the market in mid-April means facing less competition. With 13.2% fewer sellers on the market compared to average weeks, your property stands out, drawing more attention and offers.
5. Fewer Price Reductions
Homes listed in mid-April experience 20.9% fewer price reductions. By pricing strategically and listing during this peak time, sellers are more likely to achieve their desired price without needing adjustments.
For San Diego sellers, now is the time to prepare. Begin enhancing your home’s appeal to ensure it’s ready for the bustling spring market. By capitalizing on this prime listing window, you can maximize your profit and sell faster in a competitive landscape.
