Thinking about selling your home? June might be the perfect time to do it. For sellers weighing the best time to put their home on the market, June offers distinct advantages. Here are seven compelling reasons to list this month:
- Peak Buyer Activity: Early summer brings out the highest number of home shoppers, creating a
larger pool of potential buyers for your listing. More buyers means more chances to get a great offer
(or even multiple offers) on your home.
2. Families Prefer Summer Moves: With school out for summer, many families aim to relocate before the new school year. Listing in June attracts those eager buyers who want to get settled before fall – a big plus if your home is family-friendly.
3. Curb Appeal in Full Bloom: Gardens are green, flowers are blooming, and the sun is shining. Homes simply show their best in June’s lovely weather. Great curb appeal can increase buyer interest, and summertime in Asheville makes every yard look inviting and vibrant.
4. Longer Daylight Hours: More daylight means more time for after-work showings and weekend open houses. In June, buyers have the evening light to explore homes, so your property can be seen by more people each day (and in flattering natural light!).
5. Historically Higher Sale Prices: Homes listed in late spring/early summer often fetch stronger prices. In fact, early June has been one of the best times to sell nationwide. Taking advantage of this market timing could mean a higher sale price and a quicker sale for you.
6. Motivated Summer Buyers: Many house-hunters have been looking since spring; by June they’re eager to close a deal. This sense of urgency can lead to more competitive offers. Buyers in summer are often serious – they want to move in and enjoy their new home before the fall, which is good news for sellers ready to negotiate.
7. Smoother, Speedier Transactions: June sales tend to benefit from the season’s rhythm. Lenders, inspectors, and movers are in full swing (with no major winter holidays to slow things down), helping transactions move along efficiently. Plus, pleasant summer weather makes every step – from home inspections to moving day – easier than in the chill of winter.
