Seller’s Guide
Selling your home is not easy, there are many things you’ll need to consider. We’re here to help you.
Things to Consider Before You Sell
Selling your home can be a difficult decision that takes a little more than a spontaneous, “yeah let’s do it!” Like buying, there are many factors to consider before selling your home.
Firstly, consider the housing market – is it a seller’s market? Then consider other factors like can you afford a new home? What’s your reason for selling? What is your house worth right now? Do you have a great real estate team by your side? Are you ready to move everything out of your home? Are you ready for showings? Would there be any financial ramifications if you sold now? All these questions need to be answered and then some!
When is the best time to sell?
Studies have shown that the best time to sell your home is in spring during the first 2 weeks of May. During this time, homes are sold quicker and for more money. However, that’s not to say you should never sell it at any other time because there could be other months, seasons, and factors that could benefit your home sale.
The market is everchanging, so you’ll want to strike when it’s hot. If the market is in the seller’s favour, you will always have the advantage. May might be the perfect time to sell, but if you choose to sell outside of this time when the market is still in your favour, the competition could be minimal.
Sometimes the best time to sell is when you’re ready to sell. As much as people want to time the real estate market, it may not be convenient for you to wait. We always suggest doing what’s right for you because sometimes life happens, and it might be about the sale happening as quickly as possible.
Just remember, it’s all about choosing the right real estate team to help you navigate the market and sell your home when it’s the right time!
