I have been reading a number of blog posts and some other real estate material.  The "market gurus" are saying that once the home buyer credit goes away on November 30th, that's it.  End of story.  Spring market might garner some attention.  But, most people think spring market starts in April. Au contrere.  Spring market generally starts during the weekend that is a bye prior to Super Bowl...January. 

That said, how many sellers will pull their properties off the market during the holidays?  Quite a few.  Does that mean that buyers won't buy?  Some must.  Some will want to.  With fewer properties on the market, that would imply that your home might get more showings.  More showings equals the greater propensity for a purchase agreement.  The rarer the hen's teeth, the more valuable!

You might want to consider that.  Marketing is everything.  Make sure your agent doesn't fall asleep at the wheel and take the last two months of the year off.  Our brokerage has had very good success in marketing and closing properties while other agents take vacations.  We work twelve months a year!  We give you our best no matter the time of year!  Check our website at www.donsabinske.com to see our client reviews.  I think you will see that we take our clients very seriously and work to obtain their confidence and referrals.
