SHOULD YOU SELL OR SHOULD YOU STAY?
When it comes to homeownership and deciding to sell or stay there are many factors to consider. The answer is not always straightforward. Some of the factors to consider are financial, lifestyle changes, and personal preference.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATION
The main reason many people choose to sell is financial . If you are struggling to make your mortgage payment or perhaps you have considerable equity you wish to cash out, then selling maybe the answer for you. However you will need to consider the cost of realtor fees, closing fees, moving fees, and the cost of new housing whether buying or leasing. The best place to start is by having an honest, open discussion with your real estate agent. As realtors we can help to evaluate your true market value and assist in estimating closing costs.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
Perhaps your reasons for moving are not merely financial but more personal. Many people move as they get closer to retirement. Are you needing to downsize? Or perhaps be closer to work, or add more space for additional family members. Again having a discussion with a trusted real estate advisor will often help you get those answers to whether moving is in the future for you.
PERSONAL PREFERENCE
Perhaps your reasons are not because you need to move but because you want to move. I understand the reasons can be endless. The key to a successful and less stressful move is having a team on your side. You will find having an experienced agent with great connections will make the journey much smoother. If you are ready to move forward, I would be honored to connect with you to answer any questions you might have.
