List a home on Friday and you’ll have a greater chance of success when selling it, according to Seattle-based Redfin, which analyzed 1.2 million listings in 16 markets over 21 months to determine the best day of the week for selling a home.
In every market analyzed, Redfin found that homes listed on Friday were 12 percent more likely to sell within 90 days. What’s more, the company found that homes listed on a Thursday or Friday sold for slightly closer to the list price: 94.4 percent compared with 93.9 percent for homes listed on a Sunday or Monday.
Homes listed on Friday were viewed 19 percent more by buyers than homes listed on any other day of the week, according to Redfin’s study.
The company theorized that Friday listings would be the “freshest” on the minds of weekend open house attendees.
