The Best Time to Sell a Home Isn’t Spring

June 24, 2024

Hot take: The best time to sell a home isn’t spring.

There I said it!

So when is the best time for you to sell?  It’s NOT when prices are high, rates are low, or when your partner, your mom, your best friend, or the guy on YouTube says you should.

The best time to sell is when it’s right for YOU. It’s when selling and moving are part of your journey to the next chapter in your life. That’s it. Having said that: there are benefits to selling in each season (ahem, provided it’s right for you).

  • I love to tell my SPRING sellers that homes sold in May net a 12.8% seller premium. That’s $$$ above the home’s market value. Plus, in the spring, curb appeal is best (sorry winter), and buyers are on the hunt.
  • Extended daylight hours make it easier for buyers to schedule viewings and attend open houses after work or on weekends, making SUMMER a great time to list. Plus, families with kids will always prefer a move in between school years.
  • The decline in seller premiums typically begins in the FALL, around September, when it drops to just 8%. By then, most families with school-aged kids have bought and settled into the new school year so foot traffic definitely slows down. The upside for fall sellers? They can sell and buy in time to spend the holidays in their new home.
  • With fewer homes on the market, my WINTER sellers get the chance to stand out. Plus, winter buyers are often relocating for work or personal reasons, making them more likely to make offers.

Whatever the season, Robbins Realty Group is here to help you do what is best for you!  When you’re ready, just reach out anytime!

The Bardanas are simply the best! 💚 Fifteen years ago, I had the joy of helping them sell their beautiful home in West Linn and buy their dreamy treehouse with a view in Oregon City. Now they’re ready to sell their lovely one-level on the hill—and I get to work with them all over again! These two are the kindest, happiest people with the best sense of humor. I'm in stitches every time we chat. I just adore them!

My top 3 favorite things about this home: 1️⃣ The great room — spacious, filled with natural light, built-ins, and a cozy fireplace. 2️⃣ The kitchen — granite countertops, hardwood floors, and the kind of space that almost makes me want to become a chef. 😉 3️⃣ The backyard — private, peaceful, and beautifully low-maintenance. ✨ Bonus: It backs to green space for that extra dose of nature!

I love Melody Aanderud of @willowfield_design_studio! She created a fabulous custom ADA bathroom at our newest listing on Ruidoso Ct—and it’s as beautiful as it is functional. Melody and I have been friends forever, and she’s truly a gem. ✨ Also… we accidentally matched each other and the bathroom. Clearly, great design runs deep. 😉

We couldn’t find it, so we built it. 🔨✨ When my mom and I started Robbins Realty Group, we were searching for a brokerage that valued community over competition, had strong systems, real mentorship, and a culture of kindness and excellence. When we couldn’t find that perfect fit, we created it ourselves. If you’re looking for a place that truly supports you and your business, let’s chat. RRG might be exactly what you’ve been searching for!
