Which? Money, part of the prominent consumer group Which?, carried out analysis of thousands of properties for sale and found that those listed with estate agents on a Monday are likely to sell quicker than those listed later in the week.
If you're looking for a quick sale – which nearly all sellers will be – then Monday would appear to be the best day of the week to put your home on the market.
When it comes to selling a home, it can often be the small, easily overlooked things that can make all the difference. As a seller, you may pay no attention to which day of the week you list – believing it to be unimportant and trivial.
But the research, which looked at Land Registry data for thousands of properties in the year to September 2016, comparing listing dates with sales dates, revealed that homes listed at the start of the week tend to sell a month faster than properties listed at the weekend.
On average, a home took 190 days to sell from first being listed to completion, while homes listed on Mondays only took 176 days. Meanwhile, homes listed on a Saturday took 203 days on average to be sold, while properties brought to the market on a Sunday took 213 days – or approximately seven months – to sell.
Of course, it's not as simple as listing on the right day, but the research above suggests it can have an influence. Once you have taken the decision to put your home on the market, you want to give your chances of selling as many boosts as possible, so paying attention to the day you list could prove beneficial.
To further improve your chances of selling a home fast, you need to make sure you pick the right estate agent – one who will do all they can to get you the best possible price for your property in an efficient, professional manner.
A good agent will have excellent local knowledge – understanding both local and national buying trends – and will be on hand to deal with any issues in a calm and unruffled way. In essence, they will be there to make the sales process as smooth and hassle-free as possible.
