Should I list my Lakes Region, NH home for sale over the winter or should I wait till summer? This is the million dollar question. Well, you can certainly argue the properties around here look a lot better in the spring and summer, but what do the numbers say. You have to go with my logic here. If we look at properties that sell from April 1st to June 30th, we can assume that most of them were on the market and went under contract during the winter. We can use the same logic for summer, August 1st to September 30th. So, here are the number of closed residential sales in both Carroll and Belknap Counties.

Date Range	2008	2009	2010	2011
April 1st to June 30th	332	326	414	337
September 1st to October 30th	236	258	262	288

I  have to admit, even I am surprise, I was thinking the winter numbers were going to be smaller but close. I guess people do look for Lakes Region Real Estate over the winter, to be in for summer!
