If you’ve been considering selling your home, 2025 might be the perfect time. A recent NerdWallet survey reveals that 15% of Americans are planning to buy a home this year—the highest percentage recorded in this survey’s history.
Why is this significant? Since 2020, the percentage of people planning to buy has typically hovered between 9-11%. This sudden increase signals a surge in pent-up demand, meaning more buyers are ready to jump back into the market.
Now, this doesn’t mean we’re returning to the buying frenzy of a few years ago. But it does suggest a more active market than last year, as many buyers who previously hit the pause button are now moving forward.
Buyers Are Already House Hunting
The same survey found that over half (54%) of these prospective buyers are already browsing homes online. That’s a strong indicator that this spring’s peak homebuying season could be competitive.
If you’re thinking about selling, now is the time to prepare. A well-priced, well-marketed home will stand out in front of these eager buyers. Partnering with the right agent will ensure your home is positioned to attract attention and serious offers.
Bottom Line
Buyer activity is picking up, and demand is growing. If you want to maximize your home’s visibility and attract serious buyers, let’s start preparing your listing now.
