Home buyers don't set out, as an ordinary rule, to buy a home on the worst day. Much of the time it's bad luck that lands them in that predicament. If buyers could pick the best day, it would be when nobody else is closing on a home, and that's not the worst day, by any stretch.

For some reason, and maybe it's just my bad timing, I manage to buy homes in the fall, either when it's snowing or raining cats and dogs. This means when I'm moving, I'm typically soaked to the bone by the elements. As I slosh through rain puddles, you might hear me mutter that this is the worst day to buy a home, but that's just me grumbling.
