Are you considering a change of scenery? Well, it might be a great moment to get the ball rolling. Why, you ask? Because word on the street is that the optimal week to put your house on the market is right on the horizon.

According to a study by Realtor.com, they analyzed housing market trends over the past several years (excluding 2020) and discovered that April 14-20 is the optimal week to list your house for sale this year.

“Every year, one week stands out from the rest as that perfect stretch of time when it’s great to be a home seller. This year, the week of April 14–20 is the best time to sell—that is, if sellers want to see lots of interest in their homes, sell quickly, and pocket some extra cash, according to Realtor.com® data.”
