Timing is Everything when Planning a Move

Selling your house quickly can be a blessing for many homeowners. But selling before your next house is lined up might be a frightening prospect. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to ensure you’re ready to put your house on the market.

Carefully consider whether you’re ready for your home to sell and discuss your options if it does sell quickly and you’re faced with a looming moving deadline. A Real Estate agent can help you make many of these decisions and give you insight into the real estate market. Are homes like yours selling quickly? Is there a lot of competition on the market? Likewise, look into the types of houses currently for sale. Are listings scarce or are there many to choose from? Is there a variety in house and size and price?

Assessing the buying aspect can also be important. If your house does not sell before you’ve found another. how quickly will you be able to move? Discuss your expectations of a new house, from which neighborhood you desire, to its size and number of rooms. Having specific goals will help you and your Realtor find the house that best fits your needs and desires.

Even though renting might not be your first choice, find out how much it would cost, and the availability of rentals.

Determining whether to buy or sell your home first is never an easy decision. But educating yourself will make the process smoother and not leave you in the dark should your house sell sooner- or later-than you planned!
