From a seller's point of view, Spring is the ideal time to list. Why?
- flowers are in bloom so the curb appeal and neighborhood appeal are at their highest
- buyers are getting their income taxes back and may have extra money available for those pesky closing costs
- corporations are hiring after posting first quarter results
From a buyer's point of view, Fall is the ideal time to list. Why?
- sellers may have had their property listed since the spring and are more likely to be willing to negotiate or lower the price because they don't want to be stuck during the winter
- buyers want to get some of the tax benefits of home ownership before the end of the year
- many buyers can easily pick up a part-time job or get bonuses during the holidays to help them adjust to a possibly higher house payment
