To List or Not to List.


Lots of people I have talked to are waiting until the holiday season is over before they put their house on the market. The mindset is that the next month or two of the calender year is just a dead period that no one ever buys or sells in. But I'm here to tell you that, that's not always the case. I have sold several houses this season and know people are still out looking. Lots of times people that are thinking of moving to the area are doing so to be closer to family. They are often out looking at houses while they are in town visiting family for the holidays. With the $6,500 tax credit for home sellers ending in April, time is of the essence. So my advice to you is get your home ready for the market and get it listed before you miss out on the tax credit and miss out on a rare market that has a selling season extending on into the holidays.
