Rey’s Real(i)ty Check: Selling a Home in April May Be the Best Time of the Year to Do So

April 6, 2025, Rey’s Article In Home Magazine

Buying and owning a home is probably the largest single financial commitment that most people will ever have in their lives. So each quarter this year, I will offer you some recommendations about how to make the homebuying or selling process a bit easier. Iʼll also offer n ws and information on local and national real estate trends that impact the lives of people in our region of the country.

In the 20-plus years that I have served as a licensed Realtor in both Santa Fe and Washington, D.C., the transaction process for purchasing or marketing a property has become much more complex. In part, this is due to changes in local, state and federal laws that regulate what Realtors and their home buyer/seller clients must abide by in order to reach the closing table, when a piece of real estate is transferred from one owner to another.

In addition, home inspectors, lenders, title insurance professionals, builders and others have also seen changes in their own procedures over the past few years, all of which impacts the buying and selling of any form of real estate. And, of course, the status of the global economy has always influenced the state of the real estate market, no matter where you live. So, as we now “celebrate” the five-year mark since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (or when the lockdown came in March 2020), its impact on real estate can only be matched in recent years by the financial crisis of 2008, which triggered the Great Recession, the most severe economic downturn since the Wall Street crash of 1929.

Fast-forward to March 2025 and itʼs clear our nationʼs post-pandemic period has produced several outcomes that directly influenced real estate. For instance: Low inventory of existing homes has made purchasing a more challenging exercise. Changing mortgage interest rates over the past few years, plus the availability of affordable housing, has also strained the ability of some buyers to participate in the American dream of homeownership.

And although these and other elements have created a more favorable situation for home sellers—since the pandemic affected all of us—some experts suggest that a more balanced market may be emerging between homebuyers and sellers.

Also, in a recent article offered y Jellyfish Technologies—a leading soft are development company—it was noted that real estate technology trends are evolving more rapidly than ever, ushering in the end of slow, clunky deals and tired old paperwork. In fact, the Jellyfish article points out that real estate is not just adopting technology in order to remain relevant, real estate is fast becoming a leader in sustainability, automation and predictive intelligence and is positioning itself ahead of other sectors in its digital transformation. For example, Did you know that more than 75% of U.S. real estate brokerages have adopted AI technologies to streamline their processes?

This trend is important, since consumers are more sophisticated today than ever in their home search efforts. Most Realtors work with homebuyers who have used all of the technology and information links available to them, to identify property options, long before they even make contact with a real estate professional.

And similarly, home sellers are not only interested in the knowledge and experience of a Realtor—before they hire them to publicly list a house, condo or land for sale—they also expect any real estate professional to use every available marketing and advertising tool, given that a buyer could emerge not just from a local market, but from almost anywhere in the world.

BTW: Realtor.com advises that data suggests that April 13-19 is the best week this year to sell a home in just about every part of the nation. And a recent Realtor.com survey found that the majority (53%) of home sellers took one month or less to get their home ready to list. So, one of my recommendations is that home sellers get their ducks in a row ASAP in order to take advantage of the current market conditions.

And as the Trump administration quickly implements a number of changes in federal government policies, quite a few real estate-related programs are being impacted. Itʼs too early to know with certainty how these changes will fina ly influence homebuying and selling. (More on this in my next quarterly report.)

One final recommendation on offer. Given the ever-increasing complexity of the entire real estate transaction process, itʼs essential that every homebuyer and seller identify a Realtor to work with, who demonstrates competency and also shares your vision about homeownership. Achieving a comfortable level of “chemistry” with this professional can ultimately lead you to homebuying/selling success.

Of particular focus, Ned will speak to his long-time efforts to share information about resources and tools offered by Allstate that enables homeowners to take preventive measures for their homes and yards, to protect against wildfires. Ned will emphasize that this topic is such a serious one for all homeowners in our region, that empowering them to learn more about taking action, truly works. Below—in another section of the email blast—Ned is offering additional information on wildfire prevention and fire proofing.

Ned will also offer information on how his clients can learn what the process is for filing a claim with Allstate, including tracking and settling the claim. And Ned will also review the value of insurance, as it offers protection and manages risk for consumers.

The Quezada Jacobs Family Allstate Insurance Agency, offers a range of products including home, condo, renter, auto, life and business insurance, designed to protect a consumer, personally and financially. In 2025, Ned has returned as a quarterly commentator on the ATRE program, offering answers to insurance questions that emerge throughout the year.

By Rey Post
Associate Broker, Sotheby’s International Realty
Host of the “All Things Real Estate” Radio Show
January 4th & 5th, 2025

The “All Things Real Estate radio show airs this Saturday, January 4 (3pm Mountain Time) and Sunday, January 5 (12pm Mountain Time) on Santa Fe’s Talk 1260 AM KTRC and 103.7-FM, and streams on SantaFe.com, as well as via the “Listen Now” link at ATREradio.com.

Each month, the program features its main host and Sotheby’s International Realty Associate Broker—Rey Post , or other real estate professionals who also host their own version of the program. Since 2009, the show’s hosts—joined each week by a variety of guest commentators—have made ATRE a favorite weekend destination for listeners from all over the country.

On the show airing this Saturday and Sunday, join Rey and his special guests—John Grisak, owner of three roof restoration companies (including Fix My Roof, LLC), and Kevin Skelly, Graduate Master Builder and the principal at K.M. Skelly, Inc.—for a conversation about real estate and business issues, inspired by the start of the New Year.

As the symbolism blog Edenbengals.com tells us, the celebration of the New Year is a tradition that can be linked to the early civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Babylon. For these ancient civilizations, the New Year was a time of renewal, reflection, and celebration.

Regardless of the date or the culture, the New Year represents a time of new beginnings, hope, and optimism. It is a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the future. Whether it’s setting new goals, making resolutions, or simply spending time with family and friends, the New Year is a time to celebrate life and all its possibilities.

Applying this concept to our day-to-day practices, Rey, John, and Kevin will offer their thoughts on the 2024 real estate and business events that resonated with them, and also offer some thoughts on what to expect with home owning, buying, selling and building in 2025.

2025 Roof Restoration Maintenance Update:

John Grisak will speak to the show’s theme, and also summarize the efforts of his teams in their residential and commercial roof restoration efforts, as we begin January 2025. John will also review the services offered by the three companies he owns: Fix My Roof, LLC, Fiddler Roofing NM, and Zia Insulated Foam Roofing, as well as the home and commercial construction services offered by Forsite Construction, LLC.

Fix My Roof, LLC, is committed to restoring existing roofs for a fraction of the cost of roof replacement while maximizing a positive impact on the environment by embracing environmentally responsible practices and educating the greater community about environmental stewardship.

Headquartered in Santa Fe, the roof restoration companies owned by John Grisak, are well-known for serving their residential and commercial customers in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, El Dorado, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Cochiti, Las Cruces, Alamogordo, Silver City, and many more locations. Fix My Roof, LLC is not only a long-time supporter of ATRE, but its professionals are also some of the radio program’s most trusted content providers.

Home Builder Review:

As the other regular monthly contributor on the first weekend broadcast of the ATRE show throughout 2025, Kevin will discuss the state of home building in the Santa Fe area, as well as nationally. Kevin will also reflect on a variety of home building design, construction, and renovation activities that are happening in January. Kevin will also point to the important elements that consumers should give attention to, as they develop their own plans for home construction, or remodeling.

From concept to construction, Kevin and his team are well-known for applying a comprehensive approach in the process of achieving a consumer’s vision for building, or remodeling a home. Kevin’s firm offers services to consumers not only in Northern New Mexico, but also in various regions in Colorado, where he has a track record of successful home construction. K.M. Skelly, Inc., has perfected a strategy that concentrates on customer service and quality products by giving attention to the details in every project. Kevin Skelly is a Certified Green Professional and a Graduate Master Builder with over three decades of industry experience. Living in Santa Fe for more than 30 years, Kevin has developed a love for “Santa Fe style” that incorporates simple lines and reflects the landscape’s natural beauty. Accepting a limited number of projects each year, K.M. Skelly, Inc., is able to build a lasting trust with every client, transforming their visions into reality. As a long-time content contributor to the ATRE radio program, Kevin continues his role in 2025, offering valuable observations on a range of home construction issues.

City of Santa Fe Makes Bold Moves on Midtown, Affordable Housing:

New Mexico’s film industry and affordable housing advocates both have an extra reason to celebrate the New Year: the City’s Midtown District redevelopment effort has advanced, with a unanimous vote to approve the development agreement between the City and Aspect Studios to create a world-class film and multimedia hub. The plan will not only create the largest film studio in the state, but will create commercial spaces, affordable and market-rate housing, and more than 1,000 jobs. The win comes alongside the news that Tierra Contenta, a cornerstone of Santa Fe’s commitment to affordable housing, has begun Phase 3A, which will be managed by Homewise. More than 1,500 additional homes are planned for the new phase.

SFAR Real Estate Highlights:

Real estate pros and home designers weigh in on hot home design trends that may have timeless appeal—and the ones you need to approach with caution. Home trends can be hot one minute but not so hot the next. So, how can you tell which home design trend will survive or even be a classic someday versus one that might fade faster than you can say “carpeted bathroom.” Check out these Home Trends for 2025, visit the website.
