Why you shouldn't wait until Spring to sell.

Why It Makes No Sense to Wait for Spring to Sell- Look at the historical surge in homes coming on the market in Spring of last year (2018). The same trend is likely to continue in 2019.

If you want to compete with fewer homes and have more buyers see your home...get your home on the market before others.  

The price of any item (including residential real estate) is determined by the theory of supply and demand. If many people are looking to buy an item and the supply of that item is limited, the price of that item increases.

Putting your home on the market now, rather than waiting for increased competition in the spring, might make a lot of sense.

Bottom Line

Buyers in the market during the winter are truly motivated purchasers and they want to buy now. With limited inventory currently available in most markets, sellers are in a great position to negotiate.
