Is All This Snow Delaying Some Listings From Hitting The Market?

I'll go with a strong maybe.

First off, plenty of home sellers wait until March or April to list their homes -- so when we don't see many homes listed for sale in February, that's not completely unusual.

But... the multiple 6-inch-or-more snows can certainly have a dampening ;-) effect on homeowners efforts towards getting their homes on the market.

If you're getting ready to get your house on the market... and then it snows... you will probably wait until the snow melts to shoot the exterior photos if you aren't in a major time crunch to sell.

If it then snows AGAIN, maybe you already have the photos, but you're worried about whether buyers will be ready to get out and about to come see your house.

We don't usually have multiple 6-inch-or-more snows in a single winter in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.  I don't think we have had a 6-inch-or-more snow in the last three or four years.  I'll hope a reader will correct me if I am forgetting one.

So... again... unless a homeowner is in a rush to get their house on the market, the multiple snows we have seen this year have likely pushed back some would be home sellers' plans to get their houses on the market.

Are we through with the snow now?  Or will we have another one or two yet this winter!?!
