The best week to sell your home in 2026 is April 12-18, and it's coming up fast.

Here's why this week stands out: homes listed during this window historically sell for up to $5,300 more than the average week, attract 16.7% more buyer views, sell about 9 days faster, face nearly 12% less competition from other sellers, and are far less likely to need a price reduction.

53% of sellers take one month or less to prep their home for listing, so if you've been thinking about selling this spring, now is the time to start.

This was one of many top issues when we went to the hill to advocate. Change must come soon.

Nearly 29 million U.S. households already exceed the capital gains tax exclusion, a growing factor keeping homes off the market. In many metros, longtime owners are delaying sales to avoid a large tax bill, adding to inventory shortages beyond high rates and affordability.

The issue is back in Washington, where lawmakers are considering reforms to the primary-home capital gains exclusion, still capped at $250,000 for single filers and $500,000 for couples, unchanged since 1997, despite home values rising more than 260%.
