According to a new ATTOM Data Solutions real estate study, May is the best month to sell your home.

ATTOM collected data on 14.7 million homes sold across the country from 2011-2017 to see which months had the highest return for sellers. May had the most premiums above market value more than any other time of the year nationwide. 

However, the best month did vary by market; most of the eastern Florida is actually better for sellers in June while Miami, known for its warm weather, sells greatest in January.
