What is the best month to sell a home? How about the absolute best day to sell a home?
A recent analysis by ATTOM Data Solutions identified both the best month and the best day to sell a home. ATTOM made these determinations by analyzing 14.7 million home sales from 2011 to 2017.
ATTOM’s research found that May is the best month to sell a home, in terms of average seller premium realized. June 28 is the absolute best day to sell a home, with an average seller premium of 9.1 percent, according to ATTOM’s analysis.
ATTOM found that May (5.9 percent premium) followed by June (5.8 percent premium); August (4.2 percent premium); and July (3.8 percent premium) are the best months to sell a home.
The worst months to sell a home are November (2.6 percent premium); January (2.3 percent premium); October and December (1.6 percent premium), ATTOM said.
After June 28, the best days to sell a home are February 15 (9 percent premium); May 31 (8.3 percent premium); May 29 (8.2 percent premium); and June 21 (8.1 percent premium).
