If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, 2025 could be the perfect time to make your move. A recent NerdWallet survey shows that 15% of Americans are planning to buy a home this year—the highest percentage ever recorded in this survey.
Why This Matters for Sellers
For the past few years, buyer demand has remained steady at around 9-11%. But this recent jump signals that more buyers are getting ready to enter the market. Many people who put their home search on hold due to affordability concerns or economic uncertainty may now feel more confident in taking the next step.
And here’s another key factor: more than half (54%) of these potential buyers have already started looking at homes online. That means we’re likely heading into a competitive spring homebuying season, making it a great time to list your property.
What This Means for You
If you’re considering selling, here’s why this shift in buyer demand is great news:
✅ More Buyers, More Demand: A growing pool of buyers increases your chances of selling quickly and at a great price.
✅ Peak Season Is Approaching: Spring is typically the busiest time for real estate, and with so many buyers already searching, listing your home soon could help you attract serious interest.
✅ Market-Ready Homes Stand Out: Buyers are eager, but they’re also looking for homes that are move-in ready and priced correctly. A real estate professional can help you position your home to attract the best offers.
