A comparative market analysis, drawing on recently sold, active and expired comparables, shows you what your house is worth right now and how it stacks up against what is currently on the market, which matters more to your outcome than which month the calendar shows.
Then weigh your own readiness honestly: is the house decluttered, are known repairs handled, and can photography happen when the exterior looks its best. A home inspection, typically $400 to $600, done before you list rather than after an offer, often prevents a price renegotiation later.
Once the house and the data both say go, the calendar stops being the deciding factor. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
