Homes in your area area averaging about 80 days on the market. That means the best homes that are priced appropriately that are actually chosen by buyers are selling in that amount of time.
You might also consider if your home will be attractive to first time buyers (under $200,000?) since there are deadlines for the tax credit incentive. The deadline matches your goals, so that works out great!

with the credit deadlines you need to put your home on the market as soon as possible. the home has to be under contract by april 30th and closed no later than june 30th for the seller and buyer tax incentive.
I would be more than happy to assist you with any information your are needing. I specialize in listings and buyers. If you'd like email me anytime I will send you a market report and discuss your best options

In our opinion, if you want to sell by next year, you have to be listed this year.. average days on market for most homes that are not perfect or "free"... is approximately 100days... or more in some areas..
So getting your home ready is the key and making sure it is in top condition... move in ready and picture perfect.. that is what sells in less than 45 days...
Seek the advice of a local market Realtor that has represented a buyer or seller in sale of homes in your area within the past couple months... they will be the best judge of what buyers are looking for.. and their opinions are free to you... so utilize them !
Good Luck,

Hi Workingirl,
I too, am finding that homes are selling in this market. I work primarily with buyers and they are very interesting in finding the right home, at the right price in order to close in time to take advantage of the new tax credits available. We have to be under contract by the end of April to qualify.
Make sure your house is in tip top shape and find several experienced realtors to give you a detailed price opinion of your property. They should be able to provide you with specific data from the MLS and from tax records on active listings (which will be your competition), houses currently under contract and the most important, houses that have sold in the past year. Finding suitable comparable sales to help find the right price for your home is key in a quick sale.
Since we are not allowed to solicit your business here on Zillow, I suggest contacting the St. Louis Association of Realtors and asking for a referral of several top agents in your area. That way, you can compare their pricing data, marketing capabilities and references to decide upon the right realtor for you.
Good luck in your homeselling experience.
Best wishes,
chris

You might be surprised to learn that there actually lots of home selling right now - just not always at the prices that home owners want. Sounds like you are making the best first step, which is sprucing the home up so that is shows as perfect as possible. There are lots of buyers out there, but they are picky, so if you home needs work or is overpriced, it will sit and sit.
However if your home is clean, neutrallly updated and priced right, it should sell.
I would love to come see your home and help you with you sale if possible. I could give you some tips on things to do to get it looking its best for a fast a profitable sale. My office is at Hampton and Chippewa, so South City is right in my back yard.
Call me anytime.
