    As the real estate market heats up, sellers are eagerly preparing their homes for sale, aiming to capitalize on the surge in buyer activity. But did you know that timing could significantly impact the final sale price of your home? It's true – homes listed in early June tend to sell for more, and there are compelling reasons behind this phenomenon.

    According to a recent Zillow analysis of 2023 home sales, properties listed in the first two weeks of June sold for 2.3% more. That translates to a $7,700 boost on a typical U.S. home. This finding underscores the importance of strategic timing when selling your home and highlights the potential financial benefits of listing during this optimal window.

    Why else does listing your home in early June make such a difference? Let's explore the factors at play:

    1. Peak Buying Season

    June is historically one of the busiest months in the real estate calendar. Buyers who have been patiently waiting for the right property are ready to pounce as soon as it hits the market. This heightened demand can lead to multiple offers and bidding wars, ultimately driving up the sale price.

    2. Optimal Weather

    The weather in early June is often idyllic—warm but not scorching, with plenty of sunshine to showcase your home's best features. Buyers are more inclined to attend open houses and spend time exploring neighborhoods when the weather is favorable, increasing the likelihood of a successful sale. Additionally, June is when your landscaping is usually looking its best, improving your curb appeal and making your home more desirable.

    3. Emotional Appeal

    Summer represents a fresh start for many people, making it an emotionally charged time to buy a new home. Families envision creating memories in their new space, hosting backyard barbecues, and enjoying lazy afternoons in the sun. By listing your home in early June, you tap into this emotional resonance and position your property as the perfect backdrop for their summer dreams.

    4. Market Momentum

    Momentum is a powerful force in the real estate market. When buyers see that homes are selling quickly and at competitive prices, they're more motivated to act swiftly when they find a property they love. By listing your home in early June, you leverage the momentum of the peak buying season, increasing the likelihood of a fast and profitable sale.

    5. Less Competition

    While June is a popular time to list homes, it can often be less saturated than the spring market. Many sellers aim to list their properties earlier in the year, leaving fewer homes available for sale by the time June rolls around. With less competition, your home stands out more prominently to eager buyers, driving up demand and potentially increasing the sale price.

    In conclusion, timing is everything when it comes to selling your home for the highest possible price. By strategically listing your home in early June, you harness the power of peak buying season, optimal weather, emotional appeal, market momentum, and reduced competition. So, if you're considering selling your home this year, don't overlook the significance of timing. Take advantage of the June boom and set yourself up for a successful and lucrative sale. Your dream sale price may be just around the corner!

    June is right around the corner.

    Buying or selling real estate is more than a transaction—it’s a major life decision. You deserve a guide who brings not just experience, but clarity, strategy, and trust to the table. That’s where I come in. I was born and raised in Fostoria, Ohio—a blue-collar factory town where your word meant everything and people treated each other with respect. I come from a family of military veterans, tradesmen, and kind-hearted Midwesterners who taught me to do good, be good, and work hard. I carried those values with me to Ohio Wesleyan University, where I played football and graduated with the same commitment to perseverance and teamwork I bring to every client relationship today. My real estate career began not in Central Ohio, but as part of a Wall Street Journal Top 100 Team in Boston—one of the fastest-moving, most competitive markets in the country. Before real estate, I served in senior political roles, including State Director for the Massachusetts State Treasurer and Legislative Director in the State Senate. I even ran for State Representative and earned an endorsement from The Boston Globe—because I’ve always been driven to serve people, solve complex problems, and lead with integrity. Today, I bring those same values into my work as a real estate professional and former managing broker. I’ve led agents, negotiated complicated transactions, and taught hundreds of professionals how to master real estate contracts. I don’t just understand the fine print—I’ve taught from it. That insight often helps me make small but strategic contract adjustments that protect my clients or save them tens of thousands of dollars. I currently serve on the Columbus Realtors Broker Advisory Committee and am the Past-President of the Greater Dublin Realty Association, where I continue to advocate for professionalism, education, and client-first service across our industry. Clients know me for my steady communication and proactive approach. I hold weekly check-ins to ensure no one ever wonders, “What’s happening?” or “What’s next?” Whether I’m guiding a family through an emotional sale or helping a first-time buyer make a strong start, I act with clarity, empathy, and your long-term goals in mind. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me coaching my daughter’s softball team, spending time with my family, or fishing and boating in Port Clinton, where my parents now live. I live in Dublin with my amazing wife and our two beautiful daughters—and I consider it an honor to serve families across Central Ohio with focus, care, and professionalism. If you're ready to move forward with purpose, I’m here to help you do it wisely.
