The data has spoken, and if you're planning to sell, the countdown is on!
According to Zillow:
- If you want to sell quickly - list mid-March.
- If you want to sell for max profit - shoot for late April.
- (And if you're the over-achiever type, list on a Thursday - the best day of the week for a listing to go live.)
With that in mind, here's a rundown of what you need to knock out between now and then to prep your home for the market (with an estimate of how long each step takes).
- Schedule a seller consult with a trusted realtor: 1 week
- Make suggested repairs, declutter, and stage: 2-6 weeks.
- Meet with a realtor to set a listing price and schedule listing photos: 1-2 weeks
- List your home on the MLS: 1-2 days
- Wait for an offer: 51 days. (average days on market, October 2022 (Link: <https://www.noradarealestate.com/blog/should-i-sell-my-house-now/>)
- Negotiate: 3-5 days
- Prepare for inspection and appraisal: 1-2 months
- Close on your home: 1 day
You can sell your home in as little as 8-10 weeks, depending on how quickly you receive an offer.
