Why March Might Be the Best Month to Buy or Sell in Western Washington

Is March really the best time to buy or sell a home in Western Washington?

Many people wait until late spring or summer to make a move, but that may not always be the smartest plan. The truth is, March is when the spring market starts to come to life. More homes begin to hit the market, and more buyers start looking again.

March brings more homes for sale compared to the slower winter months. That means buyers often have more choices than they did in January or February. At the same time, they are not yet competing with the full wave of spring and summer buyers.

This creates a sweet spot where inventory is growing, but competition is not overwhelming. For buyers who are prepared, this can be a great time to act with confidence.

What this means for sellers. March is when preparation matters most. Homes that are priced correctly and presented well tend to attract strong and early interest from serious buyers.

What this means for buyers. Buyers coming out in early spring are often motivated and ready to make decisions. The biggest mistake sellers make is waiting too long to create a clear plan. A strong strategy right now can lead to better offers and smoother negotiations before the market becomes more crowded.

Whether you are buying, selling, or just exploring your options, strategy matters more than simply trying to time the market.
