The Best Time To Sell A Home In America’s 50 Largest Metro Areas

Buying a home is usually the most expensive thing one can buy in the U.S. and is the primary source of wealth for most Americans who can afford them.

Given that home is such an integral part of your net worth, it’s important to know how much you can sell it for, if you’re so inclined. You can find out how much your home is worth by using a home value estimator tool and, for a deeper look, getting a formal appraisal.

Timing is also a factor that matters, and as recent research from Realtor.com explores, each of the 50 largest metros in the U.S. have their own “perfect time to list.”
