We have been telling you about the listing shortage that has occurred due to the unusual fall surge of sales activity clearing out our inventory. There has been no letup in January or February.

The numbers of listings and sales have broken Reinhart records. The mild winter and an improvement in consumer confidence are factors. Also, continuing low mortgage rates and affordable home prices are bringing buyers into the market.

If you are like many people who would like to sell your home, but don’t want to make the wrong decision about timing, here are some things to consider. First, the law of supply and demand will drive prices up, but experts agree the climb will be very slow. Waiting for prices to increase is “lost opportunity” to improve your quality of life much sooner. Second, achieving the best price is more likely to occur when there are fewer homes on the market than there are buyers out shopping.

Our best advice is to list now, before the spring rush is in full swing, and it is a fact that the spring rush is starting earlier than usual this year!
