When does the peak sales season begin?

Dear clients and friends,

If you’re thinking about selling your home, one of the biggest questions on your mind is probably: When is the best time to list? For years, the answer was simple—spring, specifically from April through June. But things are changing, and if you wait until then, you might actually be too late to take full advantage of peak buyer activity.

Why Is Peak Season Starting Earlier?

We’re seeing a clear trend: the busiest time for home sales is shifting forward, with peak season now beginning in March—sometimes even as early as March 1st if the weather is warm. Why? Two main reasons:

1. Warmer Weather Arrives Sooner – As temperatures rise earlier in the year, buyers start their home search sooner.
2. Life Moves Faster – With the speed of modern life, buyers aren’t waiting around to make decisions. They’re acting earlier than ever.

The Sweet Spot: Less Competition, More Demand

Here’s the key takeaway: Most sellers still think April or May is the best time to list. That means if you list in early-to-mid March, you get a jump on the market while buyers are already in full shopping mode but before most sellers have listed their homes.

This creates a perfect low-supply, high-demand window where your home stands out more, potentially leading to faster sales and stronger offers. At The Chabris Group, we’ve been leveraging this strategy for years, helping our sellers get the best results by staying ahead of market trends.
