🎭 The Myth:

“Buying a home on Friday the 13th brings bad luck.”
It’s one of those long-standing superstitions that lingers in the background—like avoiding black cats, walking under ladders, or skipping the 13th floor in buildings.

🧠 The Truth:

Real estate isn’t about luck—it’s about timing, strategy, and data. And while many hesitate on this supposedly "unlucky" day, savvy buyers are taking advantage of the market.

In fact, here’s why Friday the 13th could be the perfect day to make your move:

1. Less Competition = More Leverage

Superstition aside, buyers who hold off for emotional reasons mean fewer offers on properties, giving you more negotiating power.

2. Rate Watchers Know Timing is Key

Mortgage rates don’t care what day it is. They move based on market trends, inflation, and policy. If you’ve been watching rates, today could be the day to lock in a deal before the weekend rate shifts.

3. Fresh Listings Drop on Fridays

Many agents release new listings toward the weekend. Being first in line today could land you that dream home before open houses even begin.

Buying a home is one of the biggest and smartest financial moves you'll ever make.
Whether it’s Friday the 13th, the 1st, or the 31st, what matters most is getting the right guidance and acting on good opportunities.
