If you’re thinking about selling your home, you may be wondering when the perfect time is to list it. I wouldn’t necessarily say that there is a perfect time to list your home, but there are certainly times that work better than others.
An example of a time that does not work very well is a week leading up to a holiday. Most buyers are not looking for a home because they’re either traveling or getting ready for that holiday weekend. This is especially true in our local area. Many people that head down to the shore for Labor Day, Memorial Day, and 4th of July are not going to be searching for homes during that time.
We find that the best time to list your home for sale on the market is usually the first or second week after a holiday. During this time, people come back to town and try to quickly time the purchase of a home around 30 to 60-day closings.

If you’re looking to buy a home, this is the best time for you to search for homes as well, since we’ll have a lot of inventory hitting the market during those weeks.
