For Brooklyn, February listings with descriptors likeno jokefarmer's market, exposed brick, and breakfast bar will have buyers buzzing. In Manhattan, the best time to list is in March with descriptor's like "Trader Joe's" and "corner" driving sales home. Find out when's the best time to list and what to say for the other boroughs, here. [StreetEasy]
