Making the Decision to Sell Your HomeBefore you decide to list your home for sale, you should carefully consider why you want to sell your home in the first place and then evaluate the current condition of the housing market in your neighborhood, or wherever you would consider moving. Taking these steps will help ensure that you maximize the sale price of your home, whether you sell it today, next month or next year.
Should I Sell My Home? It’s difficult, if not impossible, to predict which way the housing market and housing prices will head. Instead, look at factors you can control when deciding whether to sell your home now or at some point in the future. Reasons to Consider Selling Your Home: • You have to relocate to a different part of the country. Reasons to Consider Remaining in Your Home: • Homes in your neighborhood are taking a long time to sell, or are selling for significantly less than the asking price. Also how flexible are you in pricing your home? If you price your home low enough, you will find a buyer in any market. If you’re unwilling to discount the price of your home, it may remain on the market for a longer period of time, particularly if the real estate market in your area is depressed. |
