The best time to put the home on the market is when you are motivated enough to actually sell it.

I work the Pickens and Oconee areas and I will tell you this is definitly a buyers market!! If you are offering your home at a fair market price this would be a GREAT time to have your home on the market. You want to be competitive with other listings in your area, actually, you want to be better than the listings in your area. There are several ways to make your property stand out such as pricing and show quality. I would be more than happy to do a walk through for you and give you some suggestions as well as bring you a no cost, no obligation Comparative Market Analysis. Good luck!

Make sure the home is professionally staged before the photos are taken for the listing. I can help you with online staging advice or you can contact a local stager but it's important to have the home ready before it goes on the market.

I guess a little more info would help. :-)

In the last 6 months 5 stick built homes north of Hwy 11 have sold that were 3 bedroom 2 bath on my MLS. The average DOM was 135 and average price was $135880. But without ever seeing your home or knowing the SF, condition, type, brick or vinyl, slab or crawlspace or basement, etc- it would be really hard to say what price might be a good price for your home. I mentioned condition since that is one important factor you control. Make sure your home is in tip top shape BEFORE you put it on the market.

As far as calendar year for a peak time, we are are in it now according to some. But homes sell every month of the year, you must choose which time is best for you, when you can have the home in tip top shape, etc.

Without seeing your home and knowing much more about it, it is hard to say much about it.
