Thursday, May 1st, 2025

 ATTOM, a leading curator of land, property data, and real estate analytics, today released its annual analysis of the best days of the year to sell a home, which shows that based on home sales over the past 10 years, the months of May, February and April offer the highest seller premiums – making this month the time to sell your home.

An analysis of more than 47 million single-family home and condo sales between 2015 and 2024 reveals that listing a property in May, February, or April tends to generate the highest seller premiums. The data indicates that the early months of the year not only mark peak home-buying activity but also offer prime opportunities for sellers. For those considering a sale, this may be the most advantageous time to enter the market.
