Why spring wins
More buyers are searching in spring, and families often want to move before the school year. More buyers means more competition for each home.
When not to wait
A national average is not your situation. If buyers in your area are already looking for a home like yours, waiting for spring can mean waiting behind more competing listings. Your agent can show you current demand before you decide, and with Chimpre that can happen privately, in any season.
