If you have been watching the market, you will have seen that in many towns, homes have either sold or rented and there is little inventory coming on to replace them - so it is a really good time to sell. I was just contacted by a relocation buyer coming in the first week of January to work at a local corporation. He will be looking to buy at a time when everyone thinks is the worst time to sell. But with inventory low, now is a great time to sell. Why wait until Spring when everyone else will be competing with you?
I remember closing on my own home in the middle of January. I looked for a long time and finally found a home I love in the middle of December. So don't think that people do not buy homes in the middle of the winter. It's not true!
Also consider having your home staged. This will help you hold on to thousands of dollars that you might otherwise have to give away if your home has not been updated or even re-decorated recently. It makes a tremendous difference in how much you keep or give away and todays buyer wants updates and a clean fresh look. Often staging costs just a fraction of what you think it will but can really save you a fortune.
