Early Birds: These early rising home searchers start their day by scoping out the latest homes to hit the market.

Night Owls: These nocturnal home searchers cure their insomnia by searching available home on the market after the sun goes down. Across the U.S., 11.4% of all home searches are made from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Below are the top five cities with the most home hunters searching between 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. (local time), the average home data per city, and the breakdown of searches made on a desktop vs. a mobile device.

*About: The HomeFinder.com listing data is from 2013 and the times are all local (i.e. when we define 4am-10am as "Early Bird", it's 4 a.m.-10 a.m. in the time zone that the city is in.) The percentages are those searches in that city that occur in the stated timeframe.
