Imagine having a calendar with the best days or even best times of the year to buy everything you need! Well, as it turns out, we have such a thing in a recent infographic post… :o) Check it out: http://www.mangomoney.com/blog/trends/save-money-with-a-shopping-calendar

Considering Friday marks the beginning of weekend, it kind of makes sense. But as long as you have a nice presentable house to sell, it really should not matter which day you list it.

@Maria Nedeva – Hey, I never said I wasn’t crazy ;) Because of that slight adventure, I am now a full-time blogger spreading the gospel of finance! Could have never guessed that – I hate writing.
@Corey @ 20’s Finances – Oh, yeah for sure — they sit there for up to 90 days plenty of times, but for whatever reason I guess those go faster? It’s all rather fascinating to me.
@Christa – Yeah, do it! And then have her report back her results :) We’ll test it in real life! We’ll do it live! WE’LL DO IT LIVE!!
@Babs – Nice!! I love your style, my Babs ;) Always doing your research and figuring out the best ways to stretch those dollars – nicely done. I’m gonna totally steal that trick when it’s time for us to start looking elsewhere… I imagine it gets you excited even more too? And when you catch a diamond in the rough? Saweeeeet. Thanks for dropping your two cents my dear, actually got one of your guest posts going up soon – will holler w/ the date ;)
@Bergie Powers – Yay! Me too. I especially like how I have both a pumpkin AND a gingerbread house on my site right now – talk about festive!

Having watched the housing market on a daily basis for this long has taught me a couple things:

1) I noticed there are lots more homes for sale in the summer, but lots more price reductions and homes that sell for less than list price in fall/winter. I asked a realtor about this and she confirmed that everyone wants to move in the summer, so there’s lots more listings and also lots more buyers competing with for the good homes. In the winter, home sellers are more desperate (my words not hers), so buyers can drive a harder bargain. So, if you can time your home purchase, think about buying your home instead of Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa presents! If you absolutely have to sell your home in November, you have my condolences.

2) By watching listings from the same neighborhoods over a long period of time, I’ve gotten a good sense of what is a reasonable price for a home with all the bells and whistles, as well as for homes with a few minuses. There’s frequently a big price difference between a house that is okay looking, and a house that is an eyecatcher. In many cases, that price difference is a lot more than the cost of getting the upgrades done. So, as J$ said, if you’re a seller you’ve got to pay attention to those things and make a little effort to get your house ready to compete in the markeplace.

3) If you’re a buyer however, you might want to look more closely at those homes that aren’t perfect and ask yourself if they’d be your dream home with a few changes. I did a little casual research into costs for things like refinishing or replacing countertops, flooring, kitchen cabinets,bathrooms etc. so I can make a rough guess of what it’d cost to upgrade things when I see a house that has potential. I’m seeing a lot of bargains by looking at it that way.

I’ll have to pass the info onto my mom, who plans to sell in the spring.

I guess it makes sense because the people who are buying houses are ones who work during the week and then go house hunting on the weekends. But, it’s still strange because I would imagine a house sits on the market more than a week. thanks for sharing.
