Why do so many listings to live on Thursday?

I personally like to list a home late Wednesday or early Thursday to give a good marketing and social media push to the property for an open house or Social media push for the most amount of showings the 1st weekend on the market. If you list on Monday, it is typically only seen in the evenings that week and not as many buyers are able to go in the middle of the week in the middle of the day as they are working. So it is a strategy to get the most marketing for the biggest result.

It is because Thursday is the perfect day to list . It gives people time to plan for the weekend while keeping days on market low .

Thursday mornings is that the realtors are trying to get the home on the market right before the weekend when buyers are most apt to plan their weekend house viewing.

Many real estate agents and brokers may schedule their new listings to go live on Thursdays or Fridays. This is because these days are typically the busiest for real estate activity, as many homebuyers prefer to tour homes on weekends when they have more free time. By listing a home on a Thursday or Friday, it gives potential buyers time to plan their weekend tours and schedule showings.

This is often a strategy to get the most exposure in the shortest amount of time, and it allows Buyers to plan their weekend open house visits!

In addition to the responses about getting the home live before the weekend, I normally go live on Wednesday and Thursday so that the third party sites like Zillow and REDFIN have time to populate the listing online (normally 24hrs) with updated photos, MLS info, and 3D tours. Sometimes these sites lag behind and people do not have enough time to schedule showings or just plain miss the home in their searches.

The reason many homes go online Thursday mornings is that the realtors are trying to get the home on the market right before the weekend when buyers are most apt to plan their weekend house viewing. Also great for coming soon listings because the open houses usually start on the weekends.
