Buyers are frustrated and anxious, and they want to buy a house now. Last year, more than half purchased their home in the first month it was on the market.

Sellers should expect immediate action, and take advantage of it! If you don’t want to sell in the first month, then you should wait until you get closer to your preferred exit date.

This is also why the re-freshing of listings is so widespread – buyers want the fresh meat. Check the history of every new listing!
