Timing is everything when you sell a house. The period of the year when you choose to place your home on the market may significantly impact how much you get for it and how quickly it sells. Arizona’s unique climate means that its seasonal real estate cycle works differently than other areas of the country. By working with a real estate agent and following the below tips, you can maximize your sale.

How to Time a House Sale in Arizona 

Speed 

Those who prioritize closing their sale quickly should list their home at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. Once the heat of summer has come to an end, buyers become more motivated to look at homes.

Most people want to close on their new home before the holidays come around. As such, many houses that are put on the market in August or September may close in November.

Pricing 

If you’re willing to wait a little longer to get more for your home, a spring sale is ideal. January isn’t a popular time for sales on the Arizona market, so spend the cooler months prepping for spring. This is the perfect time to tackle home projects like landscaping, painting, or doing minor repairs. 

Then, list your home towards the end of spring. For example, try putting your home on the market in April to aim to close in June or July when there are generally higher sales prices. Buyers want to leverage the spring market, and schedule their move at the end of the school year.

While timing is a major component, working with the right real estate broker will make all the difference while you sell a house.
