If you're thinking about selling your home in the Sacramento region, timing is everything! New data from local appraiser Ryan Lundquist (@SacAppraiser) reveals that most home listings hit the market on Thursdays and Fridays—but if you want to maximize your exposure to buyers, Wednesday or Thursday might be your best bet.
Why List on Wednesday or Thursday?
-
Early Exposure Before the Weekend: Most buyers tour homes on the weekends, and by listing midweek, you ensure your property is on their radar before they finalize plans.
-
Out-of-Town Buyers: Many buyers traveling from the Bay Area or out of town plan trips in advance—listing earlier gives them time to add your home to their weekend itinerary.
-
More Showings, More Offers: A well-timed listing can lead to more weekend showings, potentially sparking competition among buyers.

This strategy is especially effective in Placer County cities like Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, and Auburn, where buyer demand remains strong. With the area's desirable communities, great schools, and expanding job opportunities, homes listed midweek often attract serious buyers looking to make quick decisions.
