The first half of April is the best time of year to put your house on the market in the Dallas metro, with a $7,000 boost on a typical home, according to a new Zillow report.
Why it matters: Mortgage rates remain elevated this spring. Some shoppers have adjusted to higher rates, though many still feel priced out or find few options available.
The big picture: Zillow analyzed 1.6 million closings in 2024 to determine the "best time to sell" for the country's largest metros.
A national analysis by Realtor.com found the ideal week to list is between April 13 and 19.
Zoom in: In the Dallas metro, listing a home in the first half of April could boost the price premium by 1.9%, Zillow found.
The region's median home price was $395,000 in February, up 1.5% compared to a year earlier, per the MetroTex Association of Realtors.
Reality check: The average rate on the 30-year mortgage has stayed just under 7% for nine straight weeks, Freddie Mac data shows.
