Home for Sale!

We placed our home on the market on Monday, November 30th. Some people may think it is a bit odd to place your home on the market right smack in the middle of the holidays and the beginning of winter, but we have our reasons why we chose this time to do it.

1. Tax credits. The tax credit will be ending in April, 2010 and we would like to have the opportunity to persuade a first time home buyer to purchase our home and receive that tax credit!

2. Less inventory on the market. People tend to take their homes off of the market during the holidays because they don't want to mess with keeping their home "show ready" in the middle of the holiday hub-bub.

3. We figure it may take a while to sell! We've seen homes on our street on the market for 4-6 months already. There is one For Sale By Owner that has been on the market for over a year on our street! I think that person is in desperate need of the HGTV show "Real Estate Intervention"!

4. People looking for homes this time of year will be more serious. Who really looks for a house in the middle of the holiday season with everything else going on? Only people who are REALLY looking and REALLY in need of a move...that's who...and those are the people we want to sell to!

So...if you know of anyone interested in purchasing a 2 bedroom, 1 bath villa near the 370/270/70 interchange in the St. Louis area, send them our way! Let's make a deal!
