THE BEST TIME TO SELL: THE WEEK OF
APRIL 12-18

via realtor.com—Homeowners who are hoping to sell this year should start their engines, because the best time to sell a home in 2026 is approaching quickly.

The week of April 12-18 is expected to have the ideal balance of housing market conditions that favor home sellers, more so than any other week in the year. A recent survey from Realtor.com® found that the majority (53%) of home sellers took one month or less to get their home ready to list, so the time to start prepping is now.

This selection comes from looking at seasonal trends from 2018–25 data (excluding 2020) and calculating a Best Time to Sell score for each week of the year, based on a combination of housing metrics. Notably, mortgage rates are not included in the score as mortgage rate movement has more to do with the larger economic context and does not follow a seasonal pattern.

We expect the 2026 housing market to behave according to typical seasonality, but offer slightly better conditions than 2025, with modestly higher home sales and prices on average nationwide.

Affordability improved through 2025 as mortgage rates fell to the low 6% range by the fourth quarter of the year. Despite this improvement, home sales remained muted as households continued to grapple with affordability and widespread economic uncertainty. Home listing prices peaked for the year at a median of $440,000 nationally in May 2025, falling short of the previous year as well as 2022’s all-time high. Prices generally hovered near the previous year’s levels in 2025. Home prices have held relatively steady year over year since mid-2022, when climbing mortgage rates knocked some steam out of demand and price growth. Though stalling price growth has been a welcome change compared to COVID-19 pandemic-era price acceleration, it has not moved the needle much in terms of affordability nationally. Furthermore, home sales prices continued to climb, with the median home sale price hitting a new high in June 2025, highlighting diverging trends in what’s for sale (smaller, lower-priced homes) and what is selling (larger, higher-priced homes).

Aside from easing mortgage rates, the other bright spot in the 2025 housing market was inventory levels. There were more homes for sale in 2025 than in any year since…READ MORE

The Current Miami Springs Market

This week there are thirty-six (36) active listings in the MS/VG markets. Another increase from last week. More than 50% of are priced over a million dollars. Of those, four (4) listings are over $2 million, and one is close to $4 million.

High prices remain, but I see demand picking up slowly.

I do expect a busy Spring buying/selling season. SELLERS, LIST NOW(!) if you are thinking about selling! There are still qualified Buyers out there! More increases in inventory in the months ahead?? I think so.

Mortgage interest rates have increased a bit. They are now about 6.1%. There are still qualified buyers looking for the right property. Timing is everything. Days on the market (DOM) are on average 74 days. Some houses sell quickly. It all depends on pricing, condition and location, location, location. The decrease in interest rates should result in increased sales activities. It is important to price the property right.

Inventory Breakdown:

There is one (1) property priced between $500,000-$600,000; six (6) properties are priced between $600,000-$700,000; four (4) between $700,000-$800,000; four (4) between $800,000-$900,000; one (1) are priced between $900,000-$1,000,000; fifteen (15) between $1-2 million; four (4) are listed for over $2 million; and one (1) is listed for over $3 million.
