Spring Market is Here: Why March is a Great Time to Buy or Sell in Fresno

Spring is in the air, and in the real estate world, that means one thing—it's go time! If you've been thinking about buying or selling a home in Fresno or Clovis, March is one of the best times to make your move. The market heats up, inventory increases, and buyers and sellers alike are eager to make deals happen. But don’t just take my word for it—let’s break it down.

Why March is Prime Time for Sellers

1. More Buyers Looking for Homes

As the weather warms up, so does buyer activity. People have shaken off the winter slump and are ready to start fresh in a new home. Many buyers want to move before summer so they can settle in before the next school year. That means motivated buyers, often willing to pay a premium for the right home.

2. Higher Home Prices & Stronger Offers

Fresno's housing market has seen strong appreciation over the past few years, and March typically kicks off a competitive season. More buyers in the market mean better offers, multiple offers, and even the potential for bidding wars. If you're looking to maximize your home’s value, listing in March can put you in a great position.

3. Spring Curb Appeal Sells Homes

The fresher your home looks, the more buyers it attracts. Fresno’s warm spring weather allows flowers to bloom, grass to green up, and outdoor spaces to shine. A well-maintained front yard can make a strong first impression, and trust me—buyers notice!

Why March is a Great Time to Buy in Fresno

1. More Homes on the Market = More Choices

Inventory is typically at its lowest in the winter, but as March rolls in, more homes hit the market. That means you’ll have more options to choose from, whether you're looking for a cozy starter home in Clovis or a spacious property in North Fresno.

2. You’re Buying a Long-Term Investment

Here’s the truth most agents won’t tell you—there’s never a “perfect” time to buy. The real question is: Can you afford the home you want today? Because if you can, your future self will thank you. Even if you stretch your budget a little now, your income will likely grow, and home values will continue to rise. Ask any homeowner who bought 10+ years ago if they regret it—99% will say no.

3. Lock in Your Home Before Summer Competition Heats Up

The later you wait in the year, the more buyers flood the market, making competition even tougher. In March, you still have a chance to secure a home before summer bidding wars drive up prices.
