The best time to put you home on the market

The Zillow group did a study and concluded that the best time to put your Saint Paul home on the market is on a Friday between May 16th and May 31st. This year that will be Friday the 19th or Friday the 26th. Homes listed on those days will take 6 days less to sell and will sell for an average of 1.4% more or an average of $3200 more than homes that were listed on other dates.

Real estate is local. In many markets Saturday is the magic day and early may is the best time. I think Thursday is usually the best day of the week to list a home but will go along with Friday. Homes listed at the end of the week are noticed right when buyers and their agents are looking for homes to tour on the weekend.

The numbers in this post are averages and past performance does not guarantee future results.
