This spring is shaping up to be the most competitive spring home buying season since the Great Recession \u2014 consequently, by late spring buyers may be more eager to get into a home if they\u2019ve already suffered through multiple failed bids.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs they linger later into the season, these buyers may end up spending more than they intended as they get wrapped up in competition and\/or rush to conclude a deal before the summer months,\u201d Zillow\u2019s report stated. \u201cThis means late-spring listers can capture these perhaps frustrated buyers more quickly, and earn an additional premium.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That premium will be significant in some cities. In San Francisco, Zillow estimated sellers could enjoy a $15,300 premium for listing their home in the first two weeks of May. But in some markets, the timing\u2019s different. In Pittsburgh, for instance, the best time to list is the latter half of March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regardless of the time of year or market, the weekend is almost always the best time to list, with Saturday being the best day of the week on average, according to Zillow.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And disregarding these rules of thumb can lead to a longer selling process. A previous study from Zillow found that half of all the views an online listing will get in its first month on the market occur within the first week. Getting enough interested buyers is crucial in getting the best sales price, because competition will fuel faster and more attractive bids. Fewer than 25% of sellers whose homes don\u2019t sell in the first month get their initial list price or more.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/realestate\/selling-your-home-this-is-exactly-when-you-should-put-it-on-the-market\/ar-AAvfzJG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Selling Your Home?
