Summer Real Estate 101

Summer Real Estate: Why June Is a Great Time to Sell

As the weather warms up, so does the housing market. If you’re thinking about selling a home—whether it’s your own or an estate property—June might be the perfect time to make a move.

Here’s why listing in early summer can work in your favor:

  1. Motivated Buyers Are on the Move

Many buyers aim to settle into a new home before the next school year starts. Summer schedules are more flexible, and buyers are actively looking—often with a sense of urgency.

  1. Homes Show Better in Summer

Longer days and bright natural light make homes feel warmer and more inviting. Plus, gardens are blooming, lawns are green, and outdoor spaces shine.

  1. You May Get Top Dollar

Demand tends to peak in early summer. If your home is priced right and shows well, you may attract multiple offers—sometimes even above asking.

  1. Faster Closings

Many buyers are pre-approved and ready to move quickly, especially if they’ve been shopping since spring. A June listing can mean a July closing—and everyone can enjoy the rest of summer.

  1. Downsizing or Settling an Estate? Now’s the Time

If you’re helping a parent transition to senior living or managing the sale of a family member’s home, summer gives you time to prepare, list, and close before the end of the year. And I can help guide every step.

Final Thoughts
If you’re on the fence about selling, don’t wait for fall to roll around. June gives you time, options, and opportunity. Whether you’re downsizing, relocating, or handling an estate, I’m here to help you make smart, stress-free decisions.
