1. Serious Buyers- Yes, there are fewer buyers , but those buyers are usually very serious about making a purchase or, have to make a purchase.2. Less Competition-Most sellers wait until spring or summer to list their home. This means that during the winter months your property will have far less competition verses any other time of the year.3. January is the Biggest Transfer Month-Did you know that more corporate moves happen during January than any other time of the year? This may be a great reason to list your home during the winter.4. Timing-By putting the home on the market during the Winter you may be able to more easily hit your moving goals and priorities. After all, if you need to relocate now, for personal, business or family reasons should you really wait to sell?5. More Time...

The Committee to Save the Watson House, a large group of residents in Silver Spring's Woodside Forest, has appealed to Montgomery County to save the historic Watson House, one of the best and few remaining examples of the Dutch Colonial architecture in the area. Early in 2007, the Committee hired EHT Traceries, Inc., architectural historians based in D.C., to research the house and its architectural significance. Originating in homes put up by German settlers in Pennsylvania as far back as the 1600s, the Dutch Colonial style saw a revival in the early 20th century. Built ca. 1918, the house at 9206 Watson Road sits atop a hill on just slightly under 1.5 acres. In its wooded setting bordered by an intricately woven stone wall, it bespeaks a time before the late 20th century boom in subur...
