Revealed the busiest hour for house-hunting

Rightmove reveals the busiest hour for house-huntingBrowsing patterns have shifted.

The nation's busiest time for house-hunting is at 8.48pm on a Wednesday, Rightmove's data scientists have revealed.

If you’ve ever found yourself house-hunting online just before 9pm in the evening, you’re not alone, because 8.48pm on a Wednesday is the most popular time for people looking for their next home.

Research reveals that visits to Rightmove’s platforms peak between 8-9pm each day as many people spend the evening dual-screening. On average there are more people on Rightmove's website at 8.48pm on a Wednesday than any other minute of the week. In comparison, data found that the quietest hour is at 4am on a Monday.

On average, house hunters are spending over one billion minutes searching Rightmove every month.

'We know just how obsessed the nation is with property, but to see such precise consistency in terms of browsing times is really quite remarkable,' says Miles Shipside, Rightmove’s property expert. 'It may be that the Wednesday peak of 8.48pm coincides with the final advert break of many TV shows. A few years back the busiest time of day was lunchtime but as mobile usage increased this has changed to property lovers revisiting us every evening.'

And home hunters are set to get ready for a post-Christmas rush, as last year's traffic on Rightmove increased by 231% between Christmas Day and 2nd January. While December is usually the quietest month for home-hunting, traffic typically starts to rise from Boxing Day onwards.

Last year, the busiest day in December was Sunday 30th December, as people started to think about moving house in the new year.
