Homeowners often ask me, “Carolyn, when is the best time to sell?” The truth is, the best time is when it makes sense for you. Over the years, Bay Area real estate has maintained impressively strong appreciation, so with expert guidance, you can maximize your sale no matter the timing.
Why Now Could Be A Great Time To Sell
According to the California Association of REALTORS® (C.A.R.), California’s median home price rose 6.8% in 2024, with projections showing another 4.6% increase in 2025. On a local scale, the Bay Area’s high ongoing demand and very limited inventory suggest that prices may increase even more dramatically than on the state level—which makes now an even more opportune time for sellers.
Buying In The Bay Area After Selling
If you plan to stay local, remember that our market rewards those who stay invested. Even if you’re buying another home, steady appreciation means you’ll continue building equity over time. The key is making a move that aligns with your goals, whether that’s upsizing, downsizing, or relocating.
Making Your Sale Work For You
Every seller’s situation is unique, which is why working with a trusted real estate professional is crucial. A strategic approach can help you price competitively, attract serious buyers, and negotiate the best terms.
