If you are considering selling your home this year, you may have done a little research about when the best time to list it for sale really is. When can you expect to get top dollar from the sale? When are the most buyers in the market to make sure it is seen by as many people as possible?

You can look at stats to determine the answers to these questions. You can also look at what the market is doing by viewing neighborhood-specific market reports for your area.

But is this the best indicator on when YOUR best time to sell is?

In short, no. According to Michael DiMella, managing partner of Charlesgate Realty, the best time to sell is, “when it is best for you.” With over 10 years of experience in the industry, his team has sold homes in as little as hours for more than asking price through exceptional marketing and buyer connections. He was recently quoted on Boston.com speaking about the question:

“Truthfully, the biggest factor is the sellers’s lifestyles, dependent on kids’s school schedules, whether they have to relocate for the job, or if the right house for them to move into comes onto the market,” he said. “So many other factors are much more important than to time the market to get every little dollar.”

 So, what is important?

No matter when you come onto the market, it is vital to have a team of experienced agents behind you that have a proven track record of getting top dollar for homes in the shortest amount of time. At Charlesgate, we historically have gained sellers $15,000 more for their homes in a much shorter amount of time. Look how Charlesgate compares to the market on average Days on Market:
