Thinking of selling your home this spring? According to Realtor.com, the week of April 13–19, 2025 is projected to be the single best time to list your home this year. Based on years of market data and seasonal trends, homes listed during this window are historically more likely to sell faster and for more money. Here’s why smart sellers should circle this week on their calendars.
Sellers who list their homes during the week of April 13–19 typically see 1.1% higher listing prices compared to the yearly average. Even more impressive? That’s an average of 6.7% more than homes listed at the start of the year.
In Orange County, where the spring market is already heating up, this can translate to tens of thousands of dollars in additional profit for the average seller. Timing your listing right could be the edge you need in today’s competitive market.
Homes listed during this week also sell faster—about 9 days quicker than the annual average. This is key for homeowners looking to move quickly, downsize, or get a jump on their next purchase before summer competition ramps up.
Faster sales mean fewer showings, less time keeping your home "show ready," and less stress throughout the process.
April is when buyer demand reaches its peak. Many buyers are out shopping with pre-approvals in hand, aiming to move before summer. By listing during the week of April 13–19, sellers can take advantage of:
Increased online listing views
More foot traffic at open houses
A greater sense of urgency among buyers
These factors can contribute to multiple offers, bidding wars, and ultimately, better terms for sellers.
If you’re considering selling this spring, now is the time to get your home market-ready. Here are a few quick tips to prepare for a successful sale:
Schedule a professional home evaluation
Declutter and stage your space
Address minor repairs and curb appeal
Work with a local real estate expert to create a strategic launch plan
April 13–19 isn’t just another week on the calendar—it’s a high-opportunity window for sellers. If you’re thinking about making a move in 2025, this could be the moment that gets you the best return.
