If you’re thinking about selling your home, timing is everything—and March just might be the best time of the year to list.

The Best Times to List Your Home

Real estate markets fluctuate throughout the year, but historically, the most active and competitive seasons are:

 March - May: Peak spring market, with motivated buyers and faster sales.

 Late Summer - Early Fall (July - September): Still strong, but demand slows as school starts.

 Winter (December - February): Fewer buyers, but those searching are highly motivated.

While spring and early summer are generally the best times to sell, March stands out as a prime opportunity—especially for families looking to move before the new school year.

Why March is the Sweet Spot for Sellers

 Families Want to Move Before the School Year Starts

Most families begin their home search in early spring so they can close by summer and settle in before school resumes in September. Listing in March puts your home in front of these serious buyers at just the right time.

 Spring Brings More Buyers—And More Competition

The market heats up in March, with more buyers actively searching and fewer listings compared to peak summer months. This means less competition for your home and stronger offers.

 Homes Show Better in Spring

Let’s face it—your home looks its best in spring. With longer daylight hours, greener landscapes, and milder weather, buyers can truly appreciate curb appeal and outdoor spaces.

 Higher Offers & Faster Sales

Studies consistently show that homes listed in March and April sell faster and often for more money than those listed later in the year. Why? More buyers competing means stronger offers.
