Are you thinking about making a move in Roseburg OR? A we roll into spring, you might be trying to time the market. Well, according to the experts, the best week to list your house is just around the corner.
A recent Realtor.com study looked at housing market trends over the past several years (with the exception of 2020, since it was an unusual year), and found the best week to put your house on the market this year is April 14-20:
“Every year, one week stands out from the rest as that perfect stretch of time when it’s great to be a home seller. This year, the week of April 14–20 is the best time to sell—that is, if sellers want to see lots of interest in their homes, sell quickly, and pocket some extra cash, according to Realtor.com® data.”
Here’s why this matters for you in Roseburg. While all of the spring market is a great time to list your house for sale, this may be the ultimate sweet spot when it comes to timing the real estate market this year. And if you’ve been putting your moving plans on the back burner and waiting for the right time list, this could be the nudge you need to make your move happen. As Hannah Jones, Senior Economic Research Analyst at Realtor.com explains:
“The third week of April brings the best combination of housing market factors for sellers. The best week offers higher buyer demand, lower competition [from other sellers], and fewer price reductions than the typical week of the year.”
The thing is, if you want to get in on the action, you’ll need to move quickly. It just takes a little time to list your house because the paperwork is only a part of the process. As your Roseburg real estate professional, I’d be happy to be your go-to when it comes to planning your move and prepping your house to get it ready for the market.
Did you know that we can offer advice to balance your target listing date with what you need to do – from a repair and renovation standpoint? Got questions? I’d be happy to walk you through exactly how to prioritize your list so you know what to tackle first.
For example, if your house is already in good shape, you’ll be able to focus in on the smaller things that are easy to do and make a big impact. As an article from Investopedia says:
“You won’t have time for any major renovations, so focus on quick repairs to address things that could deter potential buyers.”
Here are some specific examples from that article:
Just remember, even if you’re not ready to list within the next couple of weeks, that’s okay. Although experts say this coming week is the best week to list your house, the window of opportunity doesn’t close when this week ends. I expect a busy springtime real estate season in Douglas County OR. Spring is the peak homebuying season in Roseburg and it’s still a seller’s market, so you’ll be in the driver’s seat all season long.
