Spring is one of the most popular times to list a home in Summit County, but with more competition comes the need for a smart pricing and timing strategy. If you're thinking about selling this year, now is the time to start planning.
Timing: When Should You List?
While spring brings more buyers, it also means more competition. The earlier months—March and April—see less inventory, giving sellers an edge. However, for properties buried under snow, waiting until late May or June may be better to showcase landscaping, driveways, and outdoor spaces.
Pros of Listing Early (March-April):
✅ Less competition, making your home stand out
✅ Buyers are already looking for summer and second homes
✅ Get ahead of the peak season rush
Pros of Listing Later (May-June):
✅ Better curb appeal as snow melts and greenery returns
✅ More tourists and second-home buyers in town
✅ Warmer weather makes showings more inviting
Pricing Strategy: Setting Yourself Up for Success
With more inventory in spring, setting the right price is crucial. Overpricing can cause a home to sit on the market, while competitive pricing can generate strong interest and multiple offers.
📌 Key Pricing Strategies:
✔️ Look at recent comparable sales—not just winter numbers
✔️ Consider pricing slightly below competing homes to stand out
✔️ Factor in seasonal appeal—winter homes may need extra staging to shine
