5 reasons you don't want to wait until Spring to sell your home
     This time of year, everyone seems to hunker down for Fall and Winter and put home selling plans on hold until Springtime.  This may cost you serious money and inconvenience.

nj: Chatham Real Estate Sales Information for 2008 - 01/28/09 09:24 AM
