CONSIDERATIONS WHEN SELLING A HOME
There are many reasons for selling a home; downsizing, upsizing, job transfers, or retirement. Whatever your reason may be, here are a few factors to consider:
Timing
It would be ideal to sell when market conditions are just right and you are able to get a good financial return, but for most Sellers, it is not possible to wait for the market to improve. We need to remember the market you are selling in, is also the market you are buying in, which is a factor people often forget.
Right Price
A house that is priced correctly will sell in a reasonable amount of time. A seller should know what his/her property is worth.
We can do the research and provide information on what similar homes in your area are selling for then price your home just right.
Market
Is it a Sellers' market or a Buyers' market? How are homes selling in your area?
Is the interest rate high or low?
If the interest rate is high, it can affect a Seller after the sale when they are purchasing a new home.
The Season
During warmer months, more buyers are willing to leave their homes to view houses. Also, during warm months homes and gardens are displayed at their best. Of course, there are always buyers year-round, so if you have to sell during the colder months, there are ways to create interest.
