A:   When does it make sense for your family?  Where are you planning on moving to? Do you need help planning that next move? And the most important thing I say, move when you are ready.  Listing your home before you have a plan in place, can lead to unneeded and additional stress, for me and for you.

Q:   I see all these “List Before Spring” ads from Realtors…why?

A:  The market does have a lower than average inventory.  What does that mean for you as a Seller? An equally balanced buyer and seller market means that we would have about 3 months of inventory on the market.  (Meaning if no more houses came on the market, the buyers would buy up all of those houses within about 3 months worth of time).  Currently that level is at about a 1.5 months.

Yes, Listing your house before Spring can be an advantage (but see above paragraph for formulating a plan).

Right now, your house could be 1 of only 5 other comparable homes in the area.   But after the spike of listings, your house could be 1 of 10 homes competing against each other. Traditionally, more listings go on the market during Spring Break. (See graph)
