🏡 Should You Sell Your Home Before the Summer Rush?

What DMV Homeowners Need to Know in 2025

Spring is in full swing, and for many homeowners in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C., the question is clear: Is now the right time to sell, or should I wait for the summer market? 

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, this blog post is for you. Let’s talk about why this moment—before the summer rush—might be your best window of opportunity. 

1. Less Competition = More Attention

Many sellers wait for the summer months, thinking that’s when all the action happens. But guess what? That also means more competition. Listing your home in late spring can give you a head start. With fewer listings on the market, your home will stand out — and attract serious buyers.

📉 2. Interest Rates Might Not Stay Put

Buyers are paying close attention to mortgage rates—and many are eager to lock in a rate before any future increases. That urgency can work in your favor as a seller, driving faster decisions and stronger offers.

📦 3. Families Want to Move Before Summer

Buyers with school-age children want to settle in before the new school year begins. That means they’re looking now. If you wait too long, you could miss this motivated group of buyers.

🛠️ 4. You Still Have Time to Prepare

If you’re not 100% ready yet, don’t worry. You still have time to: 

• Deep clean and declutter 
• Make minor repairs 
• Boost your curb appeal and we can help guide you through each step!
