Even in this favorable market, there are still homes sitting on the market for long periods because the owners got greedy and overpriced them. Listen to your Realtor\u00ae and price it properly.

That is a mistake, too, in a tight market.

In the spring lots of new listing will all come on the market at once, giving the buyers too many alternatives to look at and potentially burying your home in the crowd.
