  • Home sellers notched the highest price premium in June last year, Zillow found.
  • Properties sold for 2.3% more, a price jump of around $7,700.
  • May is traditionally the best time to sell, but high mortgage rates have shifted this.

Home sellers eager to list their properties to hit the market as the spring buying season kicks off might want to hold off until June.

According to Zillow, sellers last year were able to tack on an extra $7,700 to the sale price for a typical home in early June, representing a 2.3% bump compared to earlier in the year. 

In pre-pandemic years, early May had stood out as the best time to list, with search activity peaking by the end of the spring season.
