The January Effect
The spring market is widely known as the best time to buy and sell in residential real estate; however, that market is the result of activity that begins in January.
Listing your home in January gives many sellers a huge advantage!
A trend we see year after year, website traffic increases by 20% in January - the largest jump in volume from the previous month that happens all year. According to the National Association of Realtors, consumers search for 12 weeks before committing to a home. Getting your home on the market 3 months before the competition could mean your house is sold before the others are listed.
