Free tools / When each list sells

When does each list sell in your county?

Each kind of distress sells on its own clock, and it changes by county. See which months sellers on each list actually sold in yours.

Filings, then salesWe follow every filing for 12 months and record when the owner sold off-market.
Grouped by quarterOut of every 100 sellers, how many sold in each quarter. The tallest bar is when to mail hardest.
Why it mattersMail too early or too late and the stamp is wasted. The right owner, the wrong week.

Questions

Should I mail foreclosures the day they file?

It depends on your county. In most counties we measured, the busiest quarter for foreclosure sellers came after month 3. Look at yours.

Why are expired listings so fast?

An owner whose listing just died still wants out. In most counties, more of them sell in months 1 to 3 than any other quarter.

Does GoForClose mail on these clocks?

Yes. We mail each owner in the months their kind of seller tends to sell, and re-check them before every letter.
