Seattle sellers love the “spring is best” storyline—and it’s not wrong, it’s just incomplete. Alina Araujo real estate planning in 2026 is about matching your home to the moment buyers are most motivated.

As Alina Araujo, 13 year veteran real estate agent, I’ll tell you the truth: the best time to sell is when you can (1) prepare properly, (2) price sharply, and (3) launch with maximum attention.

Seasonal Timing That Actually Matters

As Alina Araujo, REALTOR at Windermere Real estate, I typically see strong buyer activity in late winter through early summer, then a second wave early fall. But in 2026, rates, inventory, and lifestyle schedules change the equation. A “perfect month” won’t fix a sloppy launch.

Alina quote: “Timing helps—but preparation and pricing are what make timing work.”
