A new study by Realtor.com indicates the week of April 16 through 22 is the best time for homeowners to sell, plus they could get $48,000 more for their home during that week than if they sold at the beginning of the year.

A combination of higher prices, fewer homes on the market, faster sales times, and strong buyer demand are said to be at optimum levels during this early week of Spring. The Realtor.com and HarrisX survey found that 60 percent of home sellers spent up to three months preparing their homes for the market.
