4 signs that now is the right time to sell your home4 signs that now is the right time to sell your home
Have you been thinking of selling? Here are 4 signs that now is the right time.
- You can afford to move. Sure, when you sell your home, you will have money but do you have the money now to help you get top dollar for your home? Tips to making your home look it’s best:
- Paint is the #1 investment. Buyers love the clean look.
- Curb appeal- Need to do some minor repairs?
- Kitchen and Bathrooms- upgrade faucets and fixtures.
- Declutter
- Your current home doesn’t fit your lifestyle. Do you need more space or is it time to downsize? Do you like your neighborhood? Have you been daydreaming of building or been looking at other homes?
- How’s the market? Do you know if there are buyers looking for your type of home? How long will your home be on the market till it sells? Did your neighbor’s home sell quickly?
- How much is your house worth? Do you have enough equity in your home that once you sell, you can buy another?
Selling your home is a big decision. Want to know what your home is worth? Call me for a free market analysis. I also have a seller’s guide to help make the transition smoother. One thing I offer my clients is that I will help you get your place ready to sell by orchestrating handymen, cleaners and even provide the trailer. I look forward to helping you.
