4 Major Incentives To Sell This Summer

While experts remain optimistic about the housing market for the second half of the year, there may not be a better time to sell than right now. If you’ve been on the fence about listing your home, here are four compelling reasons why now is a great time to make your move:

1. 🕒 Homes Are Selling Fast

According to the latest Realtors Confidence Index from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), homes are flying off the market in just 17 days on average.

Quick sales are a strong indicator of buyer demand. It shows that motivated buyers are out there, ready to make strong offers — and fast.

2. 💬 Expect Multiple Competitive Offers

NAR also reports that sellers are receiving an average of five offers per listing. That’s great news if you're hoping for:

  • A higher sales price

  • Better terms

  • Greater negotiating power

And it’s not just quantity — it’s quality. Buyers are increasingly willing to pay over market value to secure the home they want.

3. 🔦 Low Inventory Means High Visibility

Even with slight increases in inventory, housing supply remains significantly below pre-pandemic levels. Fewer homes on the market means:

  • Less competition for your listing

  • More eyes on your home

  • More urgency from serious buyers

Listing now means your house gets the spotlight — before more sellers jump in later this year.

4. 💸 It’s a Great Time To Move Up

Thanks to record-breaking equity gains, homeowners have more financial power than ever. If your current home no longer suits your lifestyle, now is a smart time to:

  • Use your equity as a down payment

  • Lock in relatively low mortgage rates before they climb

  • Move into a space that better fits your current needs

As mortgage rates are expected to rise, acting now could help you maximize both your sale and your next purchase.

✅ Bottom Line

With high buyer demand, limited competition, and strong equity on your side, you’re in a great position to sell. If you're even thinking about moving, don’t wait for the market to shift.
