Statistically during the spring/summer season is the best time to list your house. Buyers tend to avoid bad weather and tax blues. After April 15 the market tends to pick up. Spring colors and landscaping also brightens to make homes more colorful and attractive. Many people wait until the school end is near or over before making plans to move, so they don't start shopping until May or June. March through August are generally the best times to see the highest percentage of buyers, though often there is more competition with other sellers as well.
