Selling Snapshot: Tips + Stats

Homes listed in May and June sell about 17 days faster than in other months.* However, selling directly to Opendoor is 3x faster; see how much time you could save here.

Homes with pools that list over the spring sell for $34,000 more than their selling price in the winter.

Spring and summer bring the most new listings—but also the most delistings, peaking in August, June, and July. Why? Sellers in these seasons tend to be more agile, pulling homes quickly if offers fall short. In contrast, fall and winter sellers can be more patient, keeping listings up despite slower buyer activity.

50% of Americans say an interest rate of 6.5% or less would prompt them to look at buying a home.

Selling a home can be tough. More than 80% of home sellers say they lose sleep over the process and nearly 70% of older sellers say they are emotionally attached to their homes. You’re not alone. Breona Calvert, a 38-year-old first-time home seller in Bowie, Maryland recently sold her home to Opendoor.

“This was my first time selling a house. I had to move my family cross-country — and I had to report into a new job — and I could not stage my home and get it ready for showings in such a short time. From moving away from neighbors who are considered family to feeling unsure of how everything would go, it was a very emotional time for us. 

Working with Opendoor was the least stressful way to sell. You could tell our home had been loved and lived-in; we let our kids be kids. With Opendoor, we didn’t have to worry about funds not going through, negotiating, or the stress of appeasing a buyer. As soon as I did my part, Opendoor did theirs so I could enter the next phase of my life. It was such a smooth transition! I’m very happy with the decision to go with Opendoor. I went with my gut with this one.”
