Want to Sell Your House? List It on a Friday

Updated

Sellers should list their home on a Friday for the best chance of selling it, according to Seattle-based brokerage Redfin.

Redfin analyzed data for 1.2 million listings in 16 markets nationwide over the past 21 months. The brokerage found that of all listed homes in those 16 markets, those listed on a Friday were 12 percent more likely to sell within 90 days, and homes listed on a Thursday or Friday sold, on average, for slightly closer to list price: 94.4 percent compared with 93.9 percent when homes are listed on a Sunday or Monday. Put another way, that's a $1,000 difference on a $200,000 home.
