According to Keeping Current Matters, this could be the year to sell your house, and here’s why. A recent NerdWallet survey reveals that 15% of people are planning to buy a home in 2025, marking a record high for this statistic. This surge is noteworthy, as the percentage of potential buyers had remained between 9-11% since 2020. This shift signals that buyer demand is far from gone and indicates a strong, pent-up desire among buyers that is now resurfacing.
However, it’s important to note that this doesn’t suggest a market flooded with buyers like we saw a few years ago. While the market won’t be overwhelmed, this uptick does indicate that we can expect more activity this year compared to last. Some buyers who postponed their plans due to uncertainty or financial reasons are now ready to reenter the market. Whether it’s because they feel more confident about making a move, have saved enough for a down payment, or simply can’t wait any longer, this year is shaping up to be their time to act.
Interestingly, the survey also reveals that over half of these prospective buyers (54%) have already started browsing homes online. This is an encouraging sign that many of these buyers will be actively looking during the peak homebuying season this spring. If you’re considering selling, now is the perfect time to work with the right agent to ensure your home is prepped, priced, and marketed effectively. By doing so, you can position your property in front of this eager group of potential buyers.
