Right Time to Sell Your Home?

112 Hickory Hill Road, Fox Chapel

If you are like many homeowners, you are not living in your“ forever home.” You may be keeping one eye on your home and the other eye on the housing market, contemplating when to sell and move to the next home. Here’ s how to know when it is a good time to sell your home.

Current home no longer fits your needs Maybe you moved because you were expecting a baby and needed more room, but now your“ baby” just went off to college and suddenly your cozy home feels extremely empty. Perhaps you just got a job across town and the commute is too much, or now you work from home and want a change of neighborhood.

The market favors the seller Shifting trends is the one thing you can guarantee from the real estate market.

Mortgage is paid off

Once your mortgage is paid off, every dollar you earn over what you paid for it is pure profit. There are no unacceptable reasons to sell your home; there are only reasons why now is the right time for you.

I know how easy it is to feel attached to your home. But moving on may be life-changing. The market is robust right now! Housing inventory is at a premium( not enough houses available)

It’ s good to ask about selling!
