Hi Susan,

There really is not be "one best time" , there are times that are "less desirable" than others.
Considering the condition of the entire market, a Buyer today really does have alot of choices. They can afford to take their time and choose the home of their liking. Spring is usually the begining of the busy season. Buyers tend to become more active when the weather warms up & the sun shines. However, many Sellers know this, and put their home on the market & that just increases the Buyer's options in todays market.

So what you must consider is YOUR timeframe. If you want to sell quickly, and the house is priced CORRECTLY you will have a better chance of controlling the market. The big questions is; do you want to get on the market when there may be fewer Buyers or wait until the competition increases? Regardless of what you do, I would think now is the time to begin searching for an agent to represent you.

As of today (Feb 18) there are a total of 22 homes on the market in the NACC. Priced from $485k - $2.7m. 5 of those homes are priced above $1m, and there are 3 over $2m. Over the past 6 months, 11 homes have sold for an average price of $900k.
That's a brief overview of the current NACC market. How your particular home fits into it is dependant upon what neighborhood you are currently living in (ie; Crescent, North/ Edge of Woods, Mews, Ashton ect). I would be glad to provide you a more detailed opnion of how your home fits into the market.

I hope this information helps you. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me anytime.

Best of Luck,

Susan:

Spring is traditionally the best time to list your home. However, at your price point sales have slowed in Central Ohio. There are currently 10 homes on the market in your neighborhood ranging in price from $399,000 to $1,500,000. If you are extremely motivated to sell now, then I would begin interviewing agents and viewing the competition in your neighborhood over the next month to prepare for the spring market.

Best of luck with the sale of your home. If you would like to discuss alternative fee structures to save you money on the listing of your home, feel free to contact me.
