I had the pleasure of doing an open house for an agent last weekend in Riverdale in a beautiful, little, well kept house. It was so packed at one point, I wondered how they could see the house for the people! Offers were being held back to get everyone through it over the mid week and weekend. It went over asking and had 4 offers on it, though it was a 2 bedroom in a family neighbourhood known for it's 2+ kid per family ratio. The lucky winner  just couldn't stop shouting with joy.  Sweet!

As winter bears down, your garden is buried and you'd think no one would venture out if they really didn't have to, do what this 2 bedroom house couple did - put yours on the market first, before the big spring push! Being the first on the market, when the pent up demand is strong with lack of product over the holidays, is a big plus.
