We were planning on listing our house in the Spring, but had no good reason to wait. Our realtor. Who is very successful and my best friend, suggested there was no harm listing it early. We said we'd list it Nov 1 and he proactively began spreading the word. Before we even had the listing finalized he had someone come in on a preshow and they bought it.
We're definitely not the norm, but we quickly found that the market is quite strong right now in Minneapolis. With a sold house and nowhere to live come December we quickly began looking at houses. To notfarnow's point, the limited supply of homes and exceeding demand means that houses are going quick, at least what we've seen in Minneapolis under $500k. We watched for new listings daily an whenever we saw something we liked we would try to schedule a showing immediately. At least one half of these new listings would sell before we could even get a look at them.
We did finally find a house and I'm excited to finally have a working garage at home with space for 5 cars.
