Watch - 90pc of buyers start property search online

According to a national survey of real estate transactions, over 90% of buyer start their search on the internet- and then spend almost two months looking before finally settling on the right one for them.

That two month lag time means that houses that are on the market right now are in the best position to close in the early spring. So if you're looking to sell in the spring, you'll want to list your house now - and get a head start on the competition.
