Why timing matters for real estate on TikTok

The first 60 minutes after posting determine roughly 80% of a video's success. TikTok tests with a small group, and strong watch time, likes, comments, and shares trigger broader distribution.

Audiences browse after work (6-8 PM) and on weekend mornings when planning open houses. Thursday and Sunday tend to see spikes as people prepare for weekend viewings.
