If you are planning to stay in the market, then the timing of your sale probably isn't as critical, though the spring market is when there is the most activity , making it the easiest time to sell and buy a new place.
On the other hand, if you want to get out of the market, e.g. dumping an investment property, this may be the time to do it. I can't really read the market over the short term, I'm thinking the various stimulus programs and low interest rates will keep the market stable for a while, but one and two years from now, I believe the market will be down from where we are today. We aren't going to regain the 15% we've lost so far, not for at least a decade or more.
