“We’re thinking of moving some time this year. When’s the best time of year to sell? I’ve always heard it’s the summer, but I value your opinion… ”
***ANSWER:
Except for late December, it seems it’s always a good time to sell a home here. But all other things being equal, the very best time to sell in San Diego tends to be February through May.
That’s probably for two reasons:
#1: There’s a double time lag from when a home goes INTO escrow…to when it closes…to when the media reports on local market activity. A home that goes into escrow in April typically closes May or June. Then in July the papers or news reports market activity.
#2: Unlike San Diego, most of the country actually has four seasons, some with cold snowy winters. In those areas, real estate activity is lowest in winter and highest in summer.
