When’s the best time to list a house? According to Zillow’s research data, the month a homeowner lists their home for sale has a powerful influence on the seller’s bottom line.

So, what’s the best month to list your house? It depends upon the weather! Depending upon where you live, sellers will sell faster and net the most money if they list their home in March. If you’re being hammered with snow in March, however, the best time may be the first week in April.

How can you determine the best timing? Watch for a significant increase in the number of new listings that normally takes place in late February or early March. The time to have your sellers list is several weeks later when this initial rush has passed and there is much less competition.

To take advantage of this fact, get your postcard marketing campaigns, mailing pieces, and keep-in-touch-with-past-client phone calls focused on this data now. And by the way, in case you didn’t know this, NAR says the best day of the week to list a house is on Friday.
