Should I list this time of year?

I went to a listing presentation yesterday and the owner asked me if this time of the year was the right time to list her home for another agent she had talked with told her that the home should go on the market as soon as possible. I told her that the time frame from Thanksgiving to about the middle of February were considered to be the slowest months but that the buyers that looked during this time were the most motivated for they usually had a real need to make a move. A home will sell at any time of the year if both the price and condition are in line with the market. It is better to be conservative on the pricing than to risk the home being on the market for an extended period. What do you think?
