9 days of the year offer sellers a 10% premium
IRVINE, Calif. – May 3, 2019 – While the best day to list a home in New York City could be different than in Miami, ATTOM Data Solutions analyzed eight years of home sales, 2011–2018 – to determine the best days of the year to sell a home for maximum seller profits.
ATTOM’s results: Nine days of the year offer seller premiums of 10 percent or more – eight of those occur in the summer months, but one occurs the day after Valentine’s day.
“It’s no surprise that (summer is) a time when people are most likely to move,” says Todd Teta, chief product officer with ATTOM. “Families start their home search when they know their kids will be out of school and when the weather is ideal for home viewing and moving, giving home sellers an upper hand in price negotiations.”
