Here’s What the Data Says…
If you’re thinking about selling your home, timing could make a significant difference in your bottom line. An in-depth analysis by ATTOM, reviewing over 47 million single-family and condo transactions between 2015 and 2024, reveals clear patterns in seasonal home-selling trends.
The Sweet Spot to Sell? Late Spring.
Homes listed from late winter through early summer tend to fetch the highest premiums above market value. Late May, in particular, stands out as the most lucrative time for sellers. Conversely, properties listed in the fall and early winter—especially around the holidays—typically yield much smaller returns.
Top 10 Days with the Highest Sale Premiums Above Market Value:
May 27 – 14%
May 26 – 13.7%
March 31 – 12.95%
March 30 – 12.6%
April 28 – 12.5%
April 29 – 12.2%
March 29 – 12.1%
May 25 – 12%
June 30 – 11.95%
February 24 – 11.6%
And the Lowest Premium Days? Mostly Around the Holidays:
December 24 – 3.5%
December 26 – 4.2%
November 6 – 4.5%
November 13 – 4.6%
December 4 – 4.6%

What This Means for You
Timing your sale right could mean walking away with thousands more in your pocket. Of course, not everyone can list on the “perfect” day, but knowing when buyers are most active—and when homes sell for the most—can help you make smarter decisions about when to put your home on the market.
