The case for Zigging while others are Zagging...List in the Winter!

Here's why it may make sense for you: People are still shopping for homes in good winter weather and those looking are serious buyers. The competition is not as fierce since fewer homes are listed in the wintertime. Typically, company transfers happen at the beginning of the calendar year and your home can be marketed to this niche. (I went back to check my records and when I was in corporate America I always moved in January / February!) Depending on your decorating ability, your home may be more festive and attractive to buyers during the holiday season. Frankly, there's not much of a down side to listing now and you'll be ahead of the massive spring influx of listings. Of course the best thing to do is ask yourself where you want to be living in 6 months and begin planning for that reality now.
