If you've decided that you'll be selling your home in the near future, you may be asking the same question that many other homeowners are pondering right now... 

Should I go ahead and list my home now, or wait until spring?

I can't offer one perfect answer for all sellers and all homes... but let's explore some reasons why each option might make sense depending on your situation.

Why You Might Wait Until Spring

1.  Improved Curb Appeal

Spring will bring greener grass, blooming flowers, trees on the leaves -- all of which will improve the presentation of your home in listing photos and in person. 

2.  More Buyers Enter the Market

As we head into March and April, more buyers typically start their home search. Listing in the spring might mean more buyers checking out your home and possibly more buyers ready to make offers.

Why It Might Make Sense to List Now

1.  Less Competition from Other Sellers

Right now, fewer homeowners are putting their homes on the market. That means if you list now, your home could stand out simply because there aren't as many options available to buyers.  Less competition might lead to a faster sales.

Every home -- and every market segment -- is a little different. The ideal timing for your home sale may depend on factors like the price range, location and even the condition of your home.

If you are trying to decide whether to list your home now or wait until spring, let's talk things things through related to your home and your situation.
