Hot take: The best time to sell a home isn’t spring.

There, I said it!

It’s not about when prices are highest, when mortgage rates are lowest, or when your partner, your mom, your best friend, or some random YouTuber tells you it’s “the right time.”

The best time to sell is when it’s right for you. Period. Full stop.

That said, every season in Atlanta has its own perks when it comes to selling—as long as it aligns with your goals.

So, let’s break it down:

🌷 Spring: Peak Season, Peak Profits

Spring is the most popular time to sell, and for good reason. Nationally, homes sold in May bring a 12.8% seller premium (aka, more money in your pocket). And in Atlanta? The market thrives in the spring. Buyers are out in full force, homes look their best with fresh blooms and green lawns, and that warm Georgia sunshine makes everything more inviting.

Why spring works:
✅ High demand = multiple offers
✅ Curb appeal is at its best (sorry, winter)
✅ Buyers are motivated to move before summer

☀️ Summer: More Daylight, More Showings

Summer is all about convenience—especially for families. With longer days, it’s easier for buyers to schedule evening showings and open houses. Plus, school’s out, so families looking to move prefer to close before the next school year starts.

Why summer works:
✅ More flexibility for buyers to tour homes
✅ Families prioritize summer moves
✅ Warm weather makes everything feel more inviting

🍂 Fall: A More Relaxed Market

By September, home prices start to dip, with seller premiums dropping to about 8%. Many buyers with school-aged kids have already settled in, so foot traffic slows down. But here’s the advantage: with fewer buyers, there are also fewer sellers—so you have less competition.

Why fall works:
✅ More serious buyers, fewer “just-looking” types
✅ Potential for a smoother transaction with less competition
✅ You can buy and settle into your new home just in time for the holidays

❄️ Winter: Stand Out From the Crowd

Winter in Atlanta isn’t like winter up north (no snow shovels required), but it’s still the slowest season for real estate. And that can actually be a good thing! Fewer listings mean less competition, and winter buyers tend to be highly motivated—often relocating for work, family, or life changes.

Why winter works:
✅ Less inventory = more visibility for your home
✅ Serious buyers (no tire-kickers)
✅ Corporate relocations bring fresh demand

**So, When Should You Sell?**

The truth? Whenever it makes sense for you. If selling fits into your next chapter, we’ll make it work—whether that’s spring, summer, fall, or winter.
