5 great reasons to list your home in January

If you have been considering listing your home but wanted to wait until after the Holiday Season, January if a good bet. Here are 5 good reasons…
Lack of competition; most sellers believe they should list their home in the Spring Market however when you list prior to that market you alleviate the completion;
The deadline for the new tax credit is April 30th! Buyers must be under contract by April 30th in order to take advantage of this credit therefore will be looking in January and February to secure their credit;
With the Holidays behind us buyers are back in the market full swing as they now can completely focus on their search for a home;
Rates are still low and if that continues through January (which it should) buyers will want to take advantage of those low rates;
After coming in from the cold weather outside buyers can feel warm in your home which provides an inviting atmosphere for them.
