Thoughts on when to list a house?


We just found out we are moving out of state in the summer – trying to figure out when to list our house in order to have the best chance of closing in June…I know the market is slower now, but is there any point in listing now? When does the spring bump, if there is any, usually occur, etc.? House is a nice wood-frame in Windsor Terrace, FWIW. We love it and had not thought we would be selling but a job opportunity beckons across the country. Any advice as to how to best time this would be appreciated. Thanks all!
