Listing your home at the right time for the right price is the most important part of the selling process. Of course, the price is different for every home, but the right time is always the same: right now! I can't tell you how many times I hear home owners tell me that they are going to wait to list for various reasons. While there are good and valid reasons why you should wait to list your home, it is pretty common that sellers want to wait for no good reason at all. Lets talk about why you should delay no longer and list your home today!
Your Home Could Be Exactly What a Potential Buyer Is Looking For
Your house is someone else's treasure! Maybe your house has been a good home to you, but situations change and it might not be what you need or want anymore. Remember, that there could be someone out there looking for exactly what your home has to offer. They also just may be willing to move faster and pay higher. You may miss out on the buyer of your dreams if you wait another three or six months to list. I have friends now looking for that very specific dream home and it may just be the one that you are wanting to list!
You Never Know Which Way The Market Will Turn
If the market supports a good price for your home, what are you waiting for? You are always taking a gamble when you wait. While it's true that the market may take an upswing and work well in your favor, it may also swing the opposite way leaving you wishing you had pulled the trigger earlier in the game. Don't gamble with the housing market. If you're happy to sell your home for the best price that the market will support at that time, then you should do it. I think you'll be happy that you did!
The Sooner You Sell, the Better
As always, the sooner the better right? Right! The sooner you sell your home, the better. But why? Well, I will tell you. The sooner you sell your home the freer you are. No more mortgage payments, no more interest! Now, I know you may be thinking, "everyone is going to move on to buy a new house leaving them still paying those things". While that is probably true for most everyone, wouldn't you want to pay for a home that you are more in love with and that meets all your current needs? After all, if your current home did, then you wouldn't be wanting to list it right? Which brings me to my final point.
Your Dream Home Awaits
The sooner you sell your home, the sooner you are able to make the move toward or into the home of your dreams. Remember just as your home checks all the boxes for a potential buyer out there, there is a home out there that checks all yours! It is a real heart breaker to miss out on the perfect home for you and your family because your weren't ready to hop from your current lily pad. I just spoke with a family the other day that showed me their dream home that had just sold and they missed out on it because they had not listed and sold their current home.
Like most things in life, timing is everything. Selling your home is no different. Choosing the best time for you and your family to put your home on the market is essential to have a satisfying experience and transaction. Gambling with time is always risky. The market might be there to support you and it might not. Your dream home might be waiting in the wings and it might not. So my best advice is if your're ready, then now is the right time. If you're not ready but are wanting to sell soon, then contact me and I will help you get ready because it's never too late and it's certainly never ever too soon!
