If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, there’s one very specific week that could make all the difference — and it’s right around the corner.
According to a brand-new study from Realtor.com, the best time to sell your home in 2025 is the week of April 13–19. This might seem like a random date on the calendar, but based on years of market data (excluding 2020), this particular week consistently offers sellers a powerful advantage.
So, what makes April 13–19 the perfect time to list?
By the Numbers: Why April 13–19 Is the Best Week to Sell
Realtor.com’s analysis looked at data from 2018 to 2023 and identified this mid-April week as a sweet spot for sellers. Here’s why:
- Higher Sale Prices
Homes listed during this week typically sell for 1.1% more than average — and 6.7% more than homes listed at the start of the year. For 2025, that could mean an additional $4,800 above the yearly average, and up to $27,000 more than if you listed in January. Read the full Realtor.com report here - More Buyer Attention
Listings see an average of 17.7% more views than usual. That’s more eyes on your home — and more chances to attract the right buyer. - Faster Sales
Homes listed during this week tend to sell about 9 days faster than average, which means fewer days on the market and less stress for you. - Less Competition
With 13.2% fewer sellers on the market, your home has a better chance to shine and stand out in the crowd.
