💰 Why January Through Tax Day Is the Most Profitable Time to Sell
Across the East Bay and Tri-Valley, the strongest sale prices consistently appear between January 1st and Tax Day.
This is when:
-
Buyer demand surges
-
Inventory is low
-
Homes receive more showings
-
Offers tend to be stronger and more competitive
But here’s the key:
To take advantage of this window, sellers need to be prepared BEFORE January, not during it.
Homes in Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, Castro Valley, and Brentwood that hit the market polished and photo-ready in early January always outperform homes that rush to list mid-season.
🏡 Two Winning Timing Strategies for East Bay & Tri-Valley Sellers
1️⃣ Buy During the Holidays → Sell Your Current Home in January
Holiday-season buyers are fewer and more motivated.
That means you can purchase your next home at a better price, then list your current one in January when buyer demand skyrockets.
2️⃣ Sell Jan–Tax Day → Rent-Back → Buy After Tax Day
This strategy gives you maximum flexibility.
Sell during the high-price window, stay in your home with a rent-back, and then buy after Tax Day when inventory increases significantly in late spring and summer.
Both strategies help sellers maximize profit and reduce stress.
🔧 Why You Should Start Prepping Your Home NOW
Preparing early allows you to:
-
Beat competing listings
-
Capture early buyer urgency
-
Shine online with better staging & photography
-
Generate stronger offers
-
Walk away with more money
Homes prepped in late fall routinely outperform homes rushed onto the market in January.
