New Analysis Shows Homes Sell FASTER When Listed on a Thursday

With summer in full swing and the busy fall season right around the corner, you might be prepping your home or condo to be listed as you prepare for an upcoming move. And with market conditions a little wild and crazy right now, everything you do can have an impact on how quickly you get your home sold.

If this sounds familiar, you might be interested in new findings from Zillow.

According to their analysis, homes listed in on a Thursday in Chicago sell faster than any other day of the week, while homes listed on a Saturday tend to linger on the market longer.

This trend also rings true for homes listed nationwide, with new Thursday listings moving 3 days faster on average.

Although this might seem like a minor detail, homes sitting on the market for even just a week during a hot market often give buyers the impression something is either wrong with a property, or that they might be able to get a better deal and be tougher to deal with at the negotiating table.

So, if you’re thinking about putting your home on the market, first, make sure you list with Gold Coast Realty. And second, let’s also make sure to go live with your listing on a Thursday!
