Selling Your Home in 2025? Here’s Why March-May is Prime Time

If you’re thinking about selling your home in Sonoma or Marin County, timing can make all the difference.

🏡 Did you know? Homes listed between March and May historically sell faster and for higher prices than those listed later in the year.

With buyer demand peaking, lower inventory, and perfect weather for curb appeal, Spring 2025 could be the ideal time to maximize your home’s value. Let’s break down why the spring market is your best bet and how to prepare for a successful sale.

📊 Why is March-May the Best Time to Sell in Sonoma & Marin County?

Spring has long been considered the prime selling season—but why?

1️⃣ Buyer Demand is at Its Highest

🔺 More buyers are actively looking for homes in spring, as they want to settle before summer or get into a home before the next school year.

📈 Stat Check:

• Homes listed in March, April, and May historically get more showings per week than homes listed in summer or fall.
• In recent years, homes listed in March-May sold for 2-5% more than those listed in late summer.

✅ More buyers = More competition = Higher selling prices!

2️⃣ Less Competition from Other Sellers

By waiting until summer, you’ll face more competition as inventory rises.

🌸 Spring Market Advantage:

• In January & February, inventory is still low, meaning early spring sellers get more attention from buyers.
• Homes listed before summer’s inventory surge often sell faster and with multiple offers.

✅ Listing in early spring gives you an edge!

3️⃣ Homes Show Better in Spring

Let’s be honest—homes just look better in spring!

🌿 Why Spring is the Best for Showings:
✔️ More daylight = More natural light in your home
✔️ Gardens and landscaping are in full bloom
✔️ Warmer weather = More buyers attending open houses

✅ First impressions matter—spring makes your home shine!
