Should I list my home now? Should I wait until Spring?  Is now a good time to list my home? - These are questions I hear often this time of year.  The answer does depend on what the sellers situation and motivation is.

minnesota realtor: MNHomeShop.com and TheProsperityLeader.com - 05/18/14 11:31 PM

minnesota realtor: Minnesota/Twin Cities Area Home Buyers Please Read!!! - 01/08/13 12:13 AM
This is not a breaking news alert, but here is information you must know if you are starting to look for a house or thinking about looking for a house to buy soon!
Spring Market: Once we start getting closer to Spring action is really going to pick up.  Meaning the really nice houses you have your eyes on now will be long gone. The new nice home listings that come up for sale closer to Spring will not last long either. In fact there will be more competition, multiple offers, and prices will be higher for the same house!

At any given time for most of the search I set up for buyers (especially for homes under $150,000) at least 50% of the homes listed as active are now actually under contract.  
Why is this? Their are contingencies that … (3 comments)
