The best time to list a home for sale in Tampa Bay is on a Thursday before Labor Day, according to a new Zillow analysis

Why it matters: When 57.5% of Tampa-area homes are selling within a week, a few days can make a difference.

The state of play: Homes listed on Thursday typically sell faster than any other day of the week in our area.

  • Houses put up for sale on a Sunday tend to sit on the market longer than expected.

Worth noting: That Thursday rush could simply be because Thursday is the most popular day to list a home in Tampa, according to Zillow.

  • And, of course, Sunday is also the least popular day to list a home.
