We typically see a significant surge of new listings in March in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.  For whatever reason, lots of sellers typically wait until March to list their home for sale instead of doing so in February.

The reason for waiting might be...

1.  To wait until the weather warms up a bit.

2.  To aim for a late spring closing.

3.  To hopefully start seeing some signs of life in the yard or garden.

Or maybe...

4.  Because that's what all the other sellers are doing.

Just because lots of homeowners will wait until March to list their home for sale doesn't mean you should wait too.

Listing your home for sale in February will often lead to an equivalent or higher amount of buyer interest due to having less competition from other sellers.

So, if you're waiting to list your home until March -- arbitrarily -- perhaps we should make plans to get it on the market in February instead!
