There’s a mix of properties selling in Sherwood.  The most popular is the first time home buyer criteria due to the home buyer tax credits set to expire this month.  With that, we’re sure to see a surge in sales in both the first time buyer and move up market criterias as home buyers rush to beat the deadline this month.  If you’re thinking about buying or selling it’s time to spring into action and ride the last of the first time and repeat buyer tax credit wave.  We’re here to help.

In a recent post we wrote titled “The Housing Market Says “SELL NOW” Not in Spring” we covered some very important points why NOW is the new spring season.  There’s a lot of buzz going on out there about this very topic with respect that the New Year is here and the Home Buyer Tax Credit deadline is approaching. 

Zillow warns that the tax credit “will force buyers to speed up their decisions.”  Trulia stated, “Taking a chance and starting the sale process earlier will reap distinct benefits in 2010.  The beginning of the year is going to be make-it-or-break-it, if you’re a seller, get your property listed as early in the year as you can.”  And according to Frobes, they’re on the long list of those who say “sellers should list homes early this year.”

Selling a home in the dead of winter might seem ill-advised, particularly considering the state of the economy, but some experts think that making the decision to wait until spring to list the property could be a mistake.

Government incentives will likely have a big impact in 2010, with many buyers determined to sign a contract before the April 30 tax credit deadline.

“This year, we’re anticipating sales will peak earlier,” says Nicole Hall, editor in chief of Lendingtree.com, an online mortgage comparison service. “The best time to get your house on the market will be February or early March, and maybe even earlier if you want to avoid competition.”

Traffic on real estate Web sites begins to rise right after the New Year, says Ken Shuman, spokesman for real estate Web site Trulia.com.
