There are things that you hear, which you never think about, that just make sense. Here is one: the best day to list your house in the MLS is Friday. This startling tid-bit of must have knowledge is brought to you by a realty outfit called Redfin and backed by studies that show that homes that hit the MLS on a Friday are 19% more likely to be toured. Homes listed on Sunday and Monday are least likely to be seen.
The reason is pretty simple. Folks start their quest for home purchase on the internet, and they tend to do it at home and not on the job. With weekends falling right after Friday, homes that are fresh and new get more attention.
Many buyers subscribe to active websites like www.LBIdirect.NET that have features that let you set parameters and send them to your cart. Folks looking on weekends see these listings as new and pay closer attention.
This is particularly important for vacation/investment home markets like LBI where folks tend to come down on weekends to view houses.
The devil is always in the details, and in this hyper competitive buyers market, any edge that you can have will help!
