If you’re planning to sell your home in Staten Island, you’ve probably wondered: what’s the best month to put my house on the market? Timing plays a big role in your selling experience, but the answer isn’t as simple as picking one “perfect” month.

Here’s what I’ve seen in the Staten Island market:

• Spring and Early Summer: April through June is when buyer activity peaks. Families want to move before school starts, the weather is perfect for showings, and there’s usually a rush of new listings. The upside? More buyers and potentially stronger offers. The downside? More competition, which means your home has to stand out.

• Fall: September and October often bring serious buyers back into the market. Inventory drops, which means fewer homes competing with yours. Motivated buyers who want to close before the holidays can create excellent opportunities for sellers.

• Winter: It’s no secret that winter is slower. But buyers who are shopping in January or February are usually very serious. Relocations, downsizing, or life changes push them to move now. With the right strategy, you can still achieve great results.

So, when is the best month to sell in Staten Island?

The real answer depends on your unique situation. Your goals, your timeline, and your home itself matter more than the calendar. The key is pairing timing with the right pricing, preparation, and marketing plan.
