“Home sales are off in November? Who’dve thunk it? I bet they’ll be off in December and January, too, then start to recover by spring.”
Mine goes on the market Jan 1. It’s the only home in my subdivision up for sale, the first time in the 9 years that we have been at 100% capacity.
I am tired of home ownership. Kids are out of the house and I don’t need a lot of room. Maybe get a summer place at the shore somewhere and a winter place on a lake where the only thing I need to worry about is whether a freak storm will toss my toys into the lake.
Good luck. Where I live, nothing moves in the winter. Probably 75% of sales are spring and early summer.
But, getting started in January gets you a jump on the competition!
