[quote=Anonymous]OP here - my concern isn't netting in the spring what I would net with a full offer today.

I am asking, based on those with experience, whether it is better, should I not sell quickly, to yank my house in 4 weeks rather than let the listing sit and induce only low ball offers from people who view me as desperate to sell because it is winter.

As an example, say my house is listed at 700K now.  In the Spring, I could probably get 710K.  But if the house sits through the winter, I may end up with people low balling me at 670-680K.  And at that point I have missed the chance to yank the listing and make it fresh for the Spring.  (Yes, I know Zillow shows that I listed it in the Fall - I am not concerned about that).

As an aside, for those hung up on price, we are priced below a recent appraisal, are the lowest price house in our neighborhood right now and are priced comparable to or better than comps.  We had 4 realtors give us a price and they (shockingly) all came in a almost the exact same price and we listed $5K below that.  But nothing in my direct area that has been listed in the last 2 weeks has gone under contract.  [/quote]
