Is Your Home For Sale? It's 'Peak Week,' Researchers Say
Portfolio Pulse from Anthony Noto
According to Realtor.com, April 14-20 is the optimal time for selling homes, offering a peak week for sellers to maximize ROI, with listings getting 22.8% more views, homes selling 17% faster, and prices being 1.1% higher than the yearly average. The national median listing price could be $7,400 above the average week and $34,000 more than at the start of the year. ATTOM data suggests that May and June also offer high seller premiums. The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) reports improving consumer perceptions of homebuying and selling, with the Home Purchase Sentiment Index up 10.6 points year over year. Rising home prices may boost the value of real estate assets in ETFs like VNQ, SCHH, XLRE, and IYR.
