Friday the 13th January 2023

It is Friday and Fridays are for fun. Today is Friday the 13th. The combination of Friday and 13 is considered to be unlucky and/or scary.  There is even a word for the irrational fear of the number 13 Triskaidekaphobia. It is also the inspiration for movies, books, and blog posts.

Friday the 13th happens at least once and up to three times a year. This year there are two Fridays the 13th, and the next is in October.  In 2025 there is only one and it is in June. I already have my calendar marked for that one. In 2026 there are three of them.

I have worked with hundreds of home buyers over the last 20 years and I can not remember ever writing a purchase agreement on Friday the 13th. I guess it is an unlucky day for me.
