So, sure. Look towards May. But here’s the thing. It takes more than the right month to get top dollar. It'll take careful planning and preparation — and that ain’t gonna happen overnight.
So…if you’re thinking of selling this spring — March, April, or May — here are 8 things you can knock out NOW that will make it all worthwhile come spring.
8 To-Do’s to Prep Your Home to Sell this Spring
1) Declutter, donate, and organize your closets, drawers, and attics.

3) Identify major repairs and make a plan to fix them one by one.
4) Ensure that major appliances are in working condition.
