Agreed....waiting till spring...when there is toooo much will get you not as much....be there...stay there....shine in your market and reap the benefits !
Listing Your Home In The Winter. It's A GOOD Thing!
Did I confuse you?Every homeowner thinks the Spring is the best time to put your house up for sale. Yes, the weather is nicer, the grass is greener, but is it really?
The spring brings out the buyers but there are a lot more "just lookers" in the springtime.
A serious buyer will be out in the wintertime looking for a new home. A "just looker" will not bother to look in the winter. They have better things to do like stay home in front of a nice, roaring fire.
For you, the seller, the winter is perfect because you will have a lot less homes competing with yours. That is key. In the Lindenhurst and Babylon area I am hearing chatter about multiple offers. This is partly due to the first-time home buyers tax credit that a lot of qualified buyers are taking advantage of. All buyers have to be in contract by April 30th, 2010.
The government said this will be the last extension for the tax credit.
So, you should take advantage of it as well. If you are ready to sell, list your home come January because the qualified buyers are out there.
List your home with me, and I will pay for a Home Warranty Protection Plan for your home. This also helps to sell your home faster. You will be protected while you have your home on the market and it protects the buyer for one year while in their new home. It's a great negotiating tool as well.

Hi Sally:
How about that....
I just re-blogged this also this morning.
It was a terrific post.
Sally, like Jackie I would tell sellers there is less competition in the Winter because everyone is waiting for Spring to list. Good post. Thanks for reblogging.
Great post and I believe sellers are actually getting it! Have a wonderful holiday season!
So true! Isn't that a beautiful snow picture! It should be on a postcard!
