HOW TO DECIDE WHEN IT IS TIME TO SELL

 

Here is what you need to consider to evaluate your situation:

  • What are the relevant facts, data, and information to share
  • What are the Home Value Reports saying
  • How are the Interest Rates changing
  • What is the Historical housing data
  • What is the current market forecast
  • Recently sold homes- What is the range in pricing

THE TRUTH:

Interest rates are low right now- they will undoubtedly increase and give buyers less money to spend.
What are your true motives for selling? What difficulties do you think you face delaying your move?

Have healthy expectations by leveraging the DATA.   Use the information: Comparative Market Analysis and recently sold homes to support your decision.

The perceived value of your home may decrease if it is priced too high, and stays on the market too long.  This could reduce the number of offers made by buyers.  Too high of a price could be risky which could result in being priced out of the market.  Our CURRENT market demand indicates that this is a Seller’s Market giving you more power.

WHERE TO GO?

I can provide guidance after you fully understand the market and identify the best list price and time to sell and how I can support you in your search for a new home.  A full analysis and equity evaluation will lead you to the right decision.

If you are still not sure it’s the right time to sell, that’s OK.  You will now know the benefits vs. risk factors of waiting.  I will act as your advisor to trust and work with…and when the time is right, I will be here with more updated information when you need it.  I will share local market statistics and other information, as needed.

ALL REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL!

Here are some statistics that address the Why Sell Now Question.  Sourced from the National Association of Realtors 2021 Home Buyer’s and Seller’s Trend Report:

Homebuyer demand is still on the rise: Home Sales increased by 13.1% in May 2021 compared to the year prior.  Inventory is still low: Inventory was 32% lower in July 2021 than in 2020. Home prices are still going up: Median home prices hit $350K in May 2021 - up 24% from 2020.  Mortgage interest rates are still low: The average rate was 3.04% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.  The economy is recovering: Consumer confidence was up 100.58% in June 2021 from 98.67% in Jan 2021.

 

Need more information or data?  The selling process is now safe and convenient in response to the pandemic.  We have increased demand, new processes, and virtual closings, to name a few.

 

New technology such as video calls to meet with clients, (buyers and sellers) and e-signatures for contracts.

 

Please reach out to me for a full detailed description of the process.  I can help.
