How do I know if now is the right time to sell my home?
Answer: the answer depends on your situation. Move up buyers, empty nesters may benefit from today's appreciating prices. Low interest rates also mean demand is high because of homes are still affordable. But if you owe more than your home is worth it may make sense to wait until prices rise more to put you in an equity situation.
What are current home sellers experiencing?
Nice homes in good neighborhoods priced right are selling quickly, often with multiple offers. There is a shortage of homes for sale.
How do I decide how much my home is worth?
Contact a Realtor with experience in selling homes in your area. There is no cost or obligation for a competitive market analysis. That way you'll have a good idea of your home's fair market value, based on homes recently sold as well as currently listed.
If I need to sell and buy another home, which should come first?
The answer depends on your situation. Is there high demand for your home? Scarcity may make it possible for you to shop and buy your new home, then list and sell your current home quickly. Conversely, if demand for your current home is moderate, it may make sense to list and sell before you buy.
How much does it cost to sell my home?
Your Realtor can provide you with a Sellers Net Sheet that will show your proceeds after commission and closing costs. Our services include aggressive print and online advertising so we can sell your home quickly and for top dollar. A 6% commission affords 3% to us, 3% to the selling agent, so that more top Realtors will want to show your home. Other closing costs often average 1%.
