Timing is everything! We strategically chose the right day of the week to go live for maximum exposure.
The right timing can mean the difference between a home that sells in days and one that sits on the market wondering what went wrong. Let’s find out more how we can time our listings effectively.
The best day to list your home
Redfin analyzed a sample of 100,000 homes that sold in 2017 and their analysis show that in order for you to sell for the most money, you should list your home on a Wednesday. Meanwhile, if you are looking for the day to sell the fastest, put it up on a Thursday.
Some serious buyers typically start making their weekend house-hunting plans late in the work week. Hence, you want your home to be one of the fresh listings buyers see on the market as they decide which homes they should see over the weekend. In some competitive markets, many homes are listed on Wednesday and Thursday with the expectation that buyers will come through over the weekend, submit offers by a Monday afternoon deadline and the home will be under contract by Tuesday.
This window matters more than most sellers realize. A listing that goes live on a Monday or Tuesday risks getting buried under newer listings by the time the weekend arrives.
Best week to sell
Oftentimes we will plan an open house for the first or second weekend to create that sense of urgency which further compels buyers to put their best foot forward. We use FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), to our advantage!
This strategy aligns with what Realtor’s article suggests as the best time to sell is between April 12-18, which falls right between the second and third week of the month.
Buyers know a good deal when they see it. Oftentimes they’ve been looking non-stop for months so when we show up on the market, look like a good house at a fair price, and it’s apparent that we’re getting noticed by others, they know they must take action immediately!
When we meet we’ll set a target date to launch your listing and from there we’ll create a roadmap you can follow. This is a partnership. We work for you and with you to achieve your goals. Every detail, from the day we go live to how we build momentum in those first critical days, is planned with intention.
So, if you are thinking of selling, reach out directly so we can prepare your home for a timely listing.
