I would encourage you to do some research before you seed to avoid wasted time and money. Generally cool season grasses should be seeded in September, maybe sooner if you're living in a cooler area. The reason is to allow the grass time to develop a root system before next summer hits. Also, if you're waiting for the seed to sprout in the spring you won't be able to apply any kind of pre-emergent, and the weeds will also grow at will smothering your grass. This seems to be a good resource for your area:
