Most people decide to sell their house because it’s time for them to move. They may need more space, want to be closer to work or family, or want to downsize. There are any number of reasons someone may be looking to make a move. Very few of them involve timing the market perfectly. However, if you’re a homeowner who is thinking about selling your house sometime soon, now may actually be the perfect time to do it. Why’s that? Well, according to ATTOM Data Solutions, spring is the time when home sellers sell for the largest premiums. That means sellers get more than market value for their homes. How much more? Well, ATTOM’s data shows homes that sold in March, April, and May over the past 10 years sold for an average premium of 9 percent. The end of May is particularly good for sellers, with May 26 and 27 bringing premiums between 13.5 percent and nearly 15 percent, according to ATTOM. (source)
