The Compelling Argument to List Your Home Today in Toms River, NJ

We have all heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) but never has it been more prevalent than in real estate. Just how does(SAD)relate to listing your home for sale in Toms River, NJ?

Typically, this time of year (Nov & Dec), we hear the following statement from prospective Home-Sellers; "I'm going to wait until after the Holidays to put my home on the market".

Just what does "waiting until after the Holidays" actually COST a potential Home-Seller in Toms River, NJ? The answer lies in the historical data:

--Nov & Dec 2006; Toms River had almost 10.8 months of inventory available*
--Jan & Feb 2007; Toms River had almost 12.6 months of inventory available
