Deadlines are not bad. For many of us, having structure and accountability is how we get things done. But there will always be deadlines. And I suggest creating artificial, anecdotal, or unrealistic ones can backfire.
In real estate circles, many see Super Bowl Monday as the Holy Grail, aka Best Day to List ("EVAH" if you're from MA and the Pats were in it). Bur not everyone likes or cares about football, or would be inclined to delay their house-hunting process in favor of the largely social Super Bowl Sunday.
There are LOTS of reasons why sooner is always better than later when listing. Sure, Super Bowl Monday can be a great day to go live. But there are others. Here in Westchester County there are numerous factors working in sellers' favor.

IMO, Best Day to List is when you are ready and your property is the best it can be. Best advice: Be ready before you "have to" be. Have a knowledgeable agent. Know your market, who your buyers are, and their motivation.
Planning to sell, but not ready yet? Don't fret!! (or worse, move the goalposts to "Fall Market"!!) Talk to me...umm...anytime after the game about getting your property its market-ready best.
