Easter Sunday is coming up quick... Call your active buyers and go show some property! Studies show that Easter Sunday is the 2nd best day of the year to put properties under contract. It is the beginning of the busy Spring/Summer selling season and Homeowners are more likely to make deals happen. And if that isn't enough...Christmas Day ranked #1 as the absolute best day to get a property under contract. Maybe it's the eggnog or just the desire to start the new year with their property under contract, but Sellers do sign offers on December 25th.
But what about the best day to sell a home? Turns out you have a 12% increase in selling a home within the first 90 days if you list the property on a Friday (actually submitting it to your local MLS and other search engines). You also increase the likelyhood of selling for close to list price if you market beginning on a Friday. What is not a far-fetched statistic is that listing on a Friday, your listing is 18.8% more likely to be viewed by buyers. Most likely because folks tend to look at property on the weekend and realtors will alert them of the new listing as soon as it hits on Friday.
So, show a property on Sunday and market your new listing beginning on a Friday. What have you got to lose?
I'd love your feedback and any cool statistics that you may have. Hope you found this fun and a little helpful!
