It's hard to think that far ahead, while at the end of January and after an arctic blast that covered most of our nation.  But yes, Spring will be here before you know it and this is the perfect time for a proactive seller to start preparing their house for sale, especially if they are going to take advantage of the Spring market.  The buds are already forming on the trees around Atlanta while some of the early spring blooms are beginning to peak out of the ground!  Don't wait until the last minute.
