Top Reasons to Sell Your Home Now

Why you may want to Sell your Home during an Economic Downturn?
if you are into one of these 10 situations you may want to put your home in the market soon…
 
Selling a home during a potential declining market is a challenging decision, but it is sometimes the best bet.
 
 
 
You may not necessarily loose money but gain less instead,

You may have bought for three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) and it was worth prior to the downturn five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000),  you may not get that full amount, but you will be making a profit anyway.

Renting the property instead is an option, but not everyone wants or have the financial reserves to be a Landlord, mostly needed in economic downturns; when a tenant may lose their job and the owner would still have to cover the carry-on expenses.

These are ten of the most common reasons why you may want to consider selling your home now:

  •  A job transfers
  • A financial hardship and you need to reduce expenses
  • You have already purchased another home and need to sell this one
  • A divorce
  • You were due for a big change in your life and find that this the perfect timing
  • You want to reinvest your money in something else that will be more productive
  • A sickness or a death in the family
  • You need a smaller home
  • You need a larger home, which could be a very interesting financial move, for example let’s say the potential price decline in the market is 10%, if you sell a five hundred thousand dollars home ($500,000) home at a “loss” of $50,000 but and want to buy one worth one million dollars $1,000,000 … you will be saving one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000)
  • You are in a “I want to cut my loses” kind of situation… you are already losing money and don’t want to wait any longer

 

In all of these situations, by selling the property, you will end saving money and it will allow you to move on. If they do not apply to you …. plan to list it when the situation passes.

Selling at the beginning of the decline before prices may drop further may be a smart decision.

Do you see yourself in any of these situations? Take a deep look at the market, prepare your home to sell and set a realistic potential sales price (as I recommend in prior videos).

And please don’t get offended when you receive a low-ball offer, you will most likely get some … always counteroffer since you never know the buyer’s motivation. I have received more calls in my active listings than ever before.

If you have any questions about how to sell your home for top dollars in any market let’s chat!
