What you should know when selling a house?

Sell Your Property with Confidence

Deciding to sell your home isn’t just a financial decision — it’s a personal one. You’ve likely spent years making memories there, which can make the idea of selling feel overwhelming. That’s why having someone you trust guiding you through the process is critical.

I’m Michelle Williams, and I’ve helped hundreds of Northern Virginia sellers make this transition with clarity, strategy, and confidence. If you're wondering whether now is the right time for you to sell — let’s walk through a few things to consider.

When’s the Best Time to Sell?

You’ve probably heard different advice depending on who you ask — and honestly, timing does matter.

Avoid the Winter Doldrums

Winter, especially around the holidays, tends to be slower. Between weather, school schedules, and seasonal obligations, most buyers simply aren’t looking to make a major move. Fewer buyers mean fewer chances to attract the right offer.

Spring: The Peak Selling Season

Spring is often the sweet spot. Buyers are ready for a fresh start, curb appeal is in full bloom, and many have tax returns in hand to boost their budgets. But keep in mind: you won’t be the only seller with this idea. The market gets crowded, so strategy and presentation matter even more.

Does the Day of the Week Matter?

Surprisingly, yes. Studies show that homes listed on Thursdays or Fridays tend to sell faster and for slightly more. That’s likely because buyers are planning their weekend showings — and your listing will be fresh at the top of their feeds.

But Timing Alone Won’t Sell Your Home

You could hit the perfect season and day of the week, but there’s one mistake that can sabotage it all: pricing your home wrong from the start.

Serious buyers watch new listings like hawks. Most will see your home within the first 48 hours it's live on the MLS. That means your first impression matters big time.

Price too high, and you risk sitting on the market — inviting lowball offers down the line. Price too low, and you leave money on the table. That’s why I give honest, data-driven advice on where to price your home — based on real comps, not wishful thinking.

If you're ready to sell — or even just starting to explore the idea — I’m here to help you navigate this decision with strategy and support. Let’s talk about your goals and create a game plan that puts you in the strongest possible position.
