The big picture: May has long been the best month to list your house in the U.S. But in 2023, sellers made the highest profits in the first two weeks of June, a Zillow study shows.
This shift is largely due to mortgage rates, which cooled slightly in June and brought some buyers off the sidelines.
May was still the top month around Boston, with listings in early June making $16,900 more than average and late June bringing in $20,800 more.
The other side: Buyers, if you want to avoid peak pricing, consider shopping outside of the spring and summer months.
