Is spring the best time to list your house for sale?

When does the spring market start?

When does the spring market start?

While spring typically has the most closings, it is not necessarily the best time to LIST your house for sale.  The graph below shows a 1-year history of properties for sale, sold, and new listings on a month to month basis in the Nashua region (Nashua, Hudson, Hollis, and Merrimack).  The red arrow points to the new listings on the month just before the inventory grew. The green arrow is when home closings where highest.

The best time to list a house for sale.

A large increase of homes came on the market in March(red arrow), which equates to more competition for a house listing.  The months from May to August you see closings (green arrow).  Since the time for a real estate transaction, from new listing to closing, can typically take 60-120 days (2-4 months) it makes sense the best time to list is the 3 months prior to the peak in closings.


So when is the best time to list a home for sale? The chart says: March through May, with early March being the tops. The market slows down considerably in August, so keep that in mind. This cycle is typical in New Hampshire.

Townie Tuesday Pictures in New Hampshire (NH)

Quote

Every Tuesday I post a picture on my Facebook page depicting a New Hampshire scene.  This week goes to Benson Park in Hudson, NH.

 

 

Just Hanging out at the Park with my little guy.  Benson’s has lots of trails, some are even paved, large pond, there are restored parts of the the original Benson’s Animal Park, 9-11 monument, and many areas have been transformed by local groups into interesting fun vignettes.  A true community effort to save a piece of history.
