There are many things that go into deciding if now is the right time to sell your home. What are you trying to achieve? Is it to downsize or buy a larger home due to changes in family circumstances? Are you dealing with a death or divorce situation?
Sometimes a time just comes when you know you need or want to move for a variety of reasons. When it is time, that is the time to move and sell your home.
There is no right time specifically, it all depends on your situation. People often believe Spring is the best time to sell, however statistics actually show the best prices generally are achieved in the Fall.

So let's examine why this might be. The Spring is often when there is a large influx of homes for sale, so there is much more competition for buyers to look at and consider. In the Fall there may not be as much competition. But homes definitely tend to look better in the Spring with new mulch, fresh flowers and the trees coming into bud all cause homes to show better than a wet Fall day.
Frankly, there are buyers looking for homes all year long. If you prepare your home correctly for sale, making any necessary repairs, cleaning the home and freshening up any paint that might need it then it does not matter when you list your home for sale.
There are generally more buyers looking in the Spring for a variety of reasons, people look well in advance of the end of the school year so they can find a home, and make their move after the school year in time for the new school year giving themselves time to settle in and be ready.
