What's the best day to list a house for sale??????
Friday!
In fact, by listing a home on Friday, you may bring in an extra $5,000 to the sales price, according to a study of homes listed for sale last year conducted by the real estate brokerage Redfin.
Homes
listed on Fridays tended to sell for 99.1 percent of sellers original
asking price. That represented the highest percentage of any other day
of the week.
"You
get four times the traffic on the day of debut than any other time of
the week, and you only get one chance," Glenn Kelman, president and
CEO of Redfin, told The Wall Street Journal.
Homes listed on Friday also tend to sell the quickest, within 81 days on average.
Another good day to list a home:
Tuesdays,
which generate the most interest for home tours, according to the
study. Some experts note that Tuesday is a big planning day for many
people, who are already thinking ahead of what homes they'll want to
view on weekend.
So,
what's the worst day of week to list a homes then? Sunday. Homes
listed on Sundays sell for 98.4 percent of their initial asking price -
still not bad.
