If you want to list, it's time to get ready!

Here are a few facts based on patterns in data collected for San Antonio from January 2004 to November 2010.

If a seller is looking to obtain the highest price, then he wants a June/July closing.  (Graph: Median selling prices for single family detached houses in San Antonio.)

Houses are staying on the market roughly 120 days, so in order to shoot for a June/July closing, back up about 4 months and list in February/March.




Also note that the highest number of closings on homes occurs in June, with a couple peaking in May.
