If you are not in a hurry (eg, you do not have to sell because of a future move abroad), put your house up for sale during the high season. In the real estate market, the peak season is spring. That's when most potential buyers are looking for a home, so you will receive the most visitors and, no doubt, you will sell house fast. In addition, as there are more buyers on the market, you could receive multiple offers and get a better price.
