Deciding to sell your home is an extremely big decision that should not be taken lightly. I can help you understand what the market conditions are, as well as other factors you need to consider before deciding to sell. To start, there are a few questions to ask that will help you figure out if selling your home makes sense for you right now.
1) Are we in a seller's market?
If most of the homes in your nearby area are selling quickly and for high prices, this typically means you’re in a seller’s market. This could be great news for sellers since it means they stand to make a good profit. Are you wondering how much your home is worth? Contact me to find out what your home’s estimated value is.
2) Does your home still fit your lifestyle?
Are you expecting a baby, or do you have older kids moving out? Maybe you just got a new job working remotely, and you need a home office! Lifestyle changes like these can make your current living situation feel too small, too large, or maybe it just no longer fits your needs. Be sure to consider all of your personal circumstances as well as the current market conditions when you decide whether now is the right time to sell.
3) Can you still afford and maintain your home?
Maybe you've had a job loss, or a divorce that has made your current mortgage payments unaffordable. You may want to cut your losses and downsize into a less expensive home. Also, many people who are close to retirement want to downsize or move to an area with better weather, or a more relaxed pace.
Whatever your reasons are, remember that if you do decide now is the time to sell, I am here to help! Contact me today.
