Timing can make all the difference when selling your home.

Timing can make all the difference when selling your home.

Many sellers think: “When I’m ready to sell, I’ll just list — there’s always a buyer out there.”
But the truth is, timing can decide how much you actually walk away with.

📊 Market data says it clearly:

In Orange County, average days on market has climbed to ~27 days to pending (Zillow, Sept 2025).

Meanwhile, in Riverside County, inventory rose 8.9% in April 2025, but certain ZIP codes saw homes selling within 24–40 days — meaning the right timing still gives sellers an edge.

Around 50.6% of homes in Orange County sold below asking, while 33% sold above asking (Community Partners Realty, June 2025).

💡 What this means:
If you list when competition is lower and buyers have fewer choices, your property stands out — and you can drive more bidding interest.

Ruby recently worked with a family in Orange County who were ready to list right away after staging.
But data showed many similar homes were active in the same ZIP. Ruby advised them to wait just two weeks — enough time for competing listings to clear.

When their home finally hit the market:
✨ 20+ showings in the first week, multiple offers, and a final sale above the original estimate.

Sometimes, slowing down your listing by a week or two can add tens of thousands to your sale price.

📌 Selling isn’t just about “finding a buyer.”
It’s about positioning your home strategically so buyers compete for it.
