My retirement date is creeping up - November 30, 2008. We can't decide if we should put our house on the market at this time of the year (we are in Orlando), or wait until February or March when peak time starts. The market is very bad - we had it for sale last year for six months and no offers. We know it is worth 30% less than it was a couple of years ago. I am afraid if I put it on the market now, it will be an "old" listing when interest usually peaks. My husband thinks we should go ahead and put it up. There are at least 25,000 homes for sale in Orlando plus foreclosures. We may buy in TV soon whether this house sells or not because the prices are so good there. I cannot believe they will get much if any lower. I hate the thought of having a mortgage though. We would have to finance the new house until this one sells. Ideas or thoughts from those of you that have taken the plunge. Thanks so much for your input.
