Selling in the first 30 days is critical
The best time to sell a home is in the first week when multiple contracts produce the highest values and give sellers maximum leverage over buyers during the inspection process.
During the second two weeks a home attracts interested buyers who did not want to get caught up in a bidding war but could still sell at full price.
After 30 days, buyers consider a home is stale and must have something wrong with it.
