📅 Why April 13–19 Could Be The Week To List Your Home in San Marcos

If selling your home is on your to-do list this year, now’s the time to start prepping. According to a new study from Realtor.com, the week of April 13–19 is expected to be the ideal window to put your home on the market.

Why does this week stand out? Realtor.com analyzed years of market data (excluding 2020 due to its unusual trends) and found:

“. . . we’ve identified April 13-19 as the best week to list for sellers . . . a seller listing a well-priced, move-in ready home is likely to find success. Because spring is generally the high season for real estate activity and buyers are more plentiful earlier rather than later in the year, listing earlier in the spring raises a seller’s odds of a successful sale.”

Here’s what that could mean for you as a San Marcos homeowner:

· More serious buyers viewing your home
· A faster sale, as many buyers are motivated to move before summer
· A possible increase in sale price — homes listed this week have historically sold for $4,800 more on average, and $27,000 more than those listed earlier in the year

“You won’t have time for any major renovations, so focus on quick repairs to address things that could deter potential buyers.”
