Survey Says Friday Is Best Day to List My Home

Studies are done all the time. They can be frivolous, somewhat worthwhile, or ground-breaking. On a scale of 1-to-10, I’ll give this one a 6.5. If the question is, “What is the best day to list my home?” The answer would be on a Friday!

Homes listed on a Friday were 12 percent more likely to sell within 90 days according to a study.

According to Redfin, a Seattle-based real estate company, after analyzing 1.2 million listings, homes listed on a Friday were 12 percent more likely to sell within 90 days.

“Our theory is that since homebuyers tend to tour homes on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday have 2.5 times more tours per day than weekdays), homes listed on Fridays are the freshest in buyers’ minds when they’re making their weekend plans.”

Not only that homes listed on a Thursday or Friday sold closer to their list price.
