Next Week Is the Best Time to List Homes in 2025, According to Realtor.com Data
April 10, 2025

Next Week Offers Perfect Market Conditions for Sellers
Timing is everything in real estate, and Realtor.com's latest data analysis pinpoints April 13-19 as the ideal week to list homes in 2025. Properties hitting the market during this golden window could potentially sell for $4,800 more than the average week, move 9 days faster, and face 13.2% less competition.
Action Step: Contact sellers now to prepare listings for next week's optimal window. While prices typically peak later in June (+7.6% vs. January), competition from other sellers also surges (+46.2%), making this April window particularly valuable.
This precise timing creates a powerful advantage: homes listed during this period could command up to $27,000 more than properties listed at the beginning of the year, according to Realtor.com's Best Time to Sell report.
$4,800
Potential premium over average week
Key Data Points Supporting This Opportunity:
Price premium: 1.1% higher median listing prices than average weeks
Market velocity: 9 days faster sales than typical weeks
Buyer activity: 17.7% more views per listing than average
Reduced competition: 13.2% fewer competing sellers on market
While mortgage rates remain a significant concern, two years of persistently high rates have created a backlog of buyers now trickling back into the market. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, notes that "very predictably, homes listed in the spring tend to be priced higher and sell faster than the average week throughout the year."
