The Best Time to List Your Denton Home: Summer Edition

The Best Time to List Your Denton Home: Summer Edition

By Robert Wink, Veteran & Realtor – Coldwell Banker Realty

As someone who’s served this country and now serves Denton County families, I’ve learned a few things: timing matters, planning ahead makes all the difference, and when it comes to real estate—summer gives sellers a solid edge.

If you’re thinking about putting your house on the market, the window from mid-June to the end of July is about as good as it gets.

Why Summer Works

People always ask me, “Is now a good time to list?” Well, here’s the deal.

• Families want to move before school starts—especially with Denton’s strong public schools like Guyer, Harpool, and others driving demand.

• Longer daylight gives more time for showings, open houses, and drive-bys.

• Curb appeal is at its peak—green grass, blue skies, and patios that actually look inviting.

I’ve walked hundreds of homes in Denton over the years, and I can tell you: summer sells homes that sit all spring.

The Best Window Inside Summer

If you’re serious about selling, don’t wait until August when buyers start pulling back. In my experience, the best window is:

📆 June 15 – July 31

That’s when buyers are:

• Ready to act fast

• More willing to pay your price

• Often less picky because school is looming

Bonus: If your home is near UNT or TWU, even early August can work well for faculty and student relocations.

If You’re Selling This Summer, Do These 3 Things:

1. Get your house photo ready. No dark corners, no clutter, same-colored lightbulbs and summer light does wonders if your home’s prepped right.

2. Stage it for the season. Think clean, simple, inviting. Patio furniture, bright accent pillows, mowed lawn.

3. Have a plan—not just a listing. A good listing is strategy, not luck. You only get one chance to make that “New on Market” impression.

Final Word

If you’re sitting on a house in Denton County and waiting for the right time—it’s here. Summer is when the best buyers are out, and with the right plan in place, you’ll be in control of the process, not scrambling.

It is a buyer’s market. What sales a property. Right Price, Move in Ready, and the RIGHT Buyer wants your property.

If you want to talk specifics, I’ll show you what homes near you are selling for, how to get the best price, and what you can expect.
