Why experts say April will be the best time to sell in 2023

According to realtor.com, the best time to sell this year will be April 16-22. Sellers who list their homes during this window could boost their sale price by as much as $48K, if they come prepared with quality repairs, high-ROI updates, and strong marketing.

Here are the historical factors that make mid-April the best time to sell in 2023:

• Higher home prices – Homes listed this week are priced 2.1% higher than the average week and 12.% higher than the start of the year.
• Strong buyer demand – Homes listed this week had 16.4% more views than the average week and 32.5% more views than average in 2022.
• Less seller competition – Active inventory at the start of 2023 was 65.5% higher YoY but 43.2% lower than pre-pandemic levels, which means less seller competition.
• Faster sales times – Homes have historically sold 18% faster this week than average, and experts also expect faster sales times this year despite lower buyer demand.
