I'm one of those people who likely will never have an empty nest, as is my Mom. I will always have room for my childen or grandchildren to come and stay.
But I do yearn for a day when I can buy a little beach getaway. A place to go to for a long weekend here and there during Seattle's Rainy times and maybe to retire to someday.
If you are selling that big home and buying a condo, the best time to do that is in April or May, or perhaps earlier in the year if your home does not have excellent curb appeal.
Just as you bought the home because it is a good home in which to raise a family, a family will likely want it for the same reason now. Most families are in their new homes before school starts. So anywhere from Jan. 2 through April 15 is really the best time to put it on market. If you wait until July...you may have missed the boat, and September or October is clearly too late.
