If you're thinking about selling your luxury home in San Clemente, Dana Point, or South Orange County, mark your calendar—April 13–19, 2025 is shaping up to be the best time to list. Backed by data and driven by seasonal market conditions, this specific week offers sellers a unique opportunity to maximize their sales price, reduce time on market, and gain increased buyer attention.
Why April 13–19 Is Ideal for Sellers
Real estate trends reveal that homes listed during this exact week often sell faster and for more money. According to Realtor.com, listings during this time get 17% more views, sell 17% faster, and command 1.1% higher prices than the annual average. In high-demand areas like Laguna Beach, Dana Point, and the gated communities of San Clemente’s Reserve or Shady Canyon, these gains can translate to tens of thousands of dollars.
Buyers are actively searching, rates are expected to be more favorable, and the inventory is still limited—creating the perfect storm for sellers.
The Advantage in South Orange County
Whether you're selling an ocean-view estate in Dana Point, a modern home in Talega, or a luxury property in San Clemente’s Reserve, listing during this high-impact week offers key benefits:
-
Less competition from other sellers
-
Fewer price reductions (20.9% less on average)
-
Higher buyer demand and exposure
-
Quicker sales, even in luxury price points
If you’ve been on the fence, now is the time to act—and start preparing your home. A recent survey shows over half of sellers spend a month or less getting their property market-ready.
