Rationally speaking, the right time depends on the property market, your financial situation and tax aspects. Above all, the current market situation is important for a successful sale.

Also consider alternatives, such as renting out the property for a limited period.
Finding your way around the difficult sales process is challenging. In the best case, there is no rush and you have enough time for planning and preparation of the property sale.
As a rule, you should first of all set out your intention, for example, the best possible profit or the fastest possible sale.
