Here are the top seven reasons why you should consider listing your home now instead of waiting until spring:
1. There’s less inventory. This means your home will get more attention.
2. Job relocations. There are many corporations that do first quarter job relocations, and those employees only have a weekend or so to fly into town and look at homes. They need to make an offer on one of them soon—how great would it be if that was your home and you didn’t need to wait until spring when there is a lot more inventory?
3. The real estate agent community is locked in right now. A lot of agents aren’t as busy this time of year. They’re only working with a few buyers, which means they’re all the more focused on getting those buyers the right property.

”4. Easier landscaping. You don’t need to worry about making everything look perfect in your yard. All you have to do is shovel. Also, it’s not necessarily a great time to put your home on the market in early spring in this regard because all the snow is melted and everything is muddy.
5. You have fewer people coming through your house. You may think fewer people coming through your house is a good thing, but that also means having to deal with fewer strangers.
6. Buyers are more serious. You won’t get any looky-loos or tire-kickers in the wintertime. Winter buyers are motivated and they will pay you top dollar.
7. You can get a faster sale. Again, this is due less inventory being available. Additionally, a recent study by Trulia showed that homes are selling for more in the winter.
