Why Listing Your Home in May Might Be the Best Move This Year


🌸 Why Listing Your Home in May Might Be the Best Move This Year 🌸

By Robert Thibodeau, Realtor® | eXp Realty Maine

Selling your home this spring? Timing matters—and May might just be the strongest month of the year to get top dollar in Southern Maine.

Whether you're in Saco, Scarborough, Standish, Cape Elizabeth, Biddeford, or Portland, here's why May gives you the edge when listing your property.

🔥 Buyer Demand Is Peaking

May brings out serious buyers—relocators, families planning summer moves, and cash-ready investors.
If your home is on the market in May, it’s visible during one of the busiest buyer months of the year.

🌿 Homes Look Their Best

May means flowers, green lawns, and sunshine—aka perfect conditions for curb appeal and listing photos.
Even simple touches like fresh mulch and planters can make your home stand out.

🧭 Less Competition, More Leverage

Wait until June or July, and you’ll be fighting for attention among dozens of new listings.
List in May and benefit from limited inventory and heightened buyer urgency.

🕒 The Timeline Is Seller-Friendly

Listing now puts you on track for a summer closing—and gives you flexibility to move before the fall rush.
