Exact Day of the Year to List an Atlanta Home

What if I could tell you that I know the exact day to list your home that will give you the best chance to sell your home? Would you believe me? It's true. I can, and, I'm going to tell you how!

By utilizing some readily available information, you can do this for any home anywhere. But, before we get too far along here, I feel that it is important to have a caveat to my final answer as this is really a very broad generalization, and for your particular home, you will need specific data. That said, it's possible to determine the exact day of the year that you should list your home for sale in Atlanta to provide the greatest statistical chance to sell.Let's gather the necessary information.

Below, you will see a graph indicating the number homes sold in Atlanta, broken down by month:

We are off to a good start here, but, we really need more information. The majority of sales consummate on the last day of the month so now we know that the most likely day of the year to sell a home in Atlanta is June th.

We're getting closer to determining the optimum list date, but, we really need to know how long it will take to sell your home. Looking back at data from June, we can determine that the average days that a home takes to go from listed to under contract is 83. So let's go back 83 days from June 30th...That brings us to April 9th.

The only remaining piece of information missing here is to determine how long it takes from the time a home goes under contract until the time it closes. I'm going to rely on my experience for this one and say that it takes, on average, 30 days to go from under contract to actually closing the sale. So let's go 30 days back from April 9th. That will give us the date to list your home for sale.

So, the exact day of the year to optimize your chance to sell your home would be.....March 9th!

Now as I said in the beginning, this is a broad generalization. But, if you are wondering when the right time will be for your specific home, call me now. I plan on being very busy on March 9th and if you are planning on selling your home next year you should be busy now making lists of what to get rid of and beginning the process of preparing your home for sale. I have put together a detailed list of tips to prepare your home for sale on my website and if you would like more detailed information, now is the time to get it. I know it seems a little early, but, we all know how fast time flies and now that summer is coming to an end and the Holiday's are right around the corner, January will be here before you know it and you need time to get your home ready.
