According to Keepingcurrentmatters.com, if you're considering selling your home, 2025 could be the perfect time to make that move. A recent survey by NerdWallet revealed that 15% of people plan to purchase a home this year—a record high for this survey (see graph below).
Why This Is a Big Deal
Historically, the percentage of buyers planning to move has hovered between 9-11% since 2020. This recent spike indicates that buyer demand is still strong, and there's likely pent-up demand ready to re-enter the market.
While this doesn’t mean we’re about to see a massive wave of buyers like we did in previous years, it does signal more market activity than we've seen in the past. Many potential buyers who held off during the last few years are now ready to take the leap. Whether it's due to improved confidence, finally saving enough for a down payment, or simply a strong desire to move, this is the year many buyers are set to act.
Buyers Are Already Looking
According to the same NerdWallet survey, over half (54%) of prospective buyers have already started browsing homes online. This trend suggests that many will be actively searching during the peak home-buying season this spring.
If you want your home to stand out, partnering with the right real estate agent is key. With the right preparation, pricing, and marketing, your home can be in front of these motivated buyers when they’re ready to make their move.
The Bottom Line
More buyers are planning to move this year, and with a strategic approach, you can position your home to be one of the first they see.
