Is This A Good Time To Sell?  

Should I sell my current home now and make the “move up” to the larger home my family needs and maybe even dreams about?  Or should I “sit tight” and wait for the price on my current home to rise again?

                    YES!

There are a large number of beautiful homes at remarkable values available on the market right now. 

But is this a good time to sell your present home?

Frankly, it may take a few more days to obtain an acceptable offer than in the recent “hot” market, The price you ultimately decide on for selling your current home may be lower than you had wished. The GOOD news is ...the price of the “home of your dreams” will most likely be lower than you thought and therefore little easier on your pocketbook as well!

 Another consideration - If you are currently in a starter home, town home or home that would be attractive and within reach of first time homebuyers –an added plus- your home is still very much in high demand and the days on the market in this range are generally shorter than the homes in the “move up” price ranges.  That being said – there is a healthy inventory to choose from for the “move up” buyer. Many very realistic Sellers have kept their eye on recent trends in the current homes and mortgage market. As a result I’m finding they are more reasonable and open to negotiations.

Remember…when the price of the home you are looking to sell inflates in price, the price of the home that you want to buy is going to rise as well.

A “move up” buyer is in a great position right now.

            So yes!  This is a great time to sell and expand your living space!
