What is the worst month to sell a house?<\/h2>\n
According to the real estate experts at ATTOM,<\/a> October<\/strong> is the least favorable month to sell a home. Historical data over the past 13 years indicates that properties listed in October have consistently brought in lower premiums of 8.8% compared to other months of the year which yielded as much as 13.1% above market value.<\/p>\n November <\/strong>and September<\/strong> (both at 9.5%) follow closely behind as more challenging months for home sellers, often due to the shift in buyer interest as the year winds down.<\/p>\n On the flip side, ATTOM\u2019s data shows that May<\/strong> is an ideal month to sell a house. Thanks to the high buyer demand during the spring market, sellers listing in May can capture up to a 13.1% premium above market value.<\/p>\n February<\/strong> and April<\/strong> also present stronger selling opportunities, with premiums close behind May\u2019s, at 12.8% and 12.5%, respectively.<\/p>\n For example, if your home\u2019s value is $400,000, selling in May could bring in as much as $52,000 more in proceeds, depending on local market conditions and how well your property is marketed<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a look at the top-ranked months based on additional premium potential:<\/p>\n 1. May:<\/strong> 13.1% above market value<\/p>\n 2. February:<\/strong> 12.8% above market value<\/p>\n 3. April:<\/strong> 12.5% above market value<\/p>\n 4. June:<\/strong> 12.4% above market value<\/p>\n 5. March:<\/strong> 12.2% above market value<\/p>\nWhat is the best month to sell a house?<\/h2>\n
