Preparing to sell your home can be stressful and emotional. Is there a magic time of year to sell that will make it easier and guarantee a quick transaction? Sadly, not really.But, there are a few things you can do to take advantage of the best markets. 

Traditionally, spring and fall are the peak times to put your home on the market, as that’s when most buyers are looking based on market activity.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t buyers during other times of the year. In fact, those buyers touring homes outside of “peak season” are probably even more serious about submitting an offer if they love your house. You have less competition stacked up against you if there aren't as many homes on the market, which also puts you in a better position as the seller. 

While there may be more popular times to sell a house during the year, don't stress if you need to list your home in the middle of June or the beginning of the holiday season. Your situation will dictate your timing and a good agent can help you make it work, no matter what!
