2 Houses Ready to List. Put on MLS now or Jan 1, 2012?

[Jonathan C.]

Just wanted some opinions on what to do. Have 2 properties where rehab was just completed and are ready to go on market. Would you put them on MLS now (12/20/11) or wait until Jan 1?

When a property first hits MLS is always the best time to get it sold, so I'm not sure if it's better to wait until we aren't right in the middle of the Holidays to put the properties on the market or just do it now since they're ready.

Any opinions much appreciated. Jon
