If selling your Seattle home is on your 2025 to-do list, now is the time to get serious. According to a recent Realtor.com study, the week of April 13–19 is projected to be the best time to list a Seattle home this year. Sellers who take advantage of this prime window could benefit from:
- More buyer activity
