How Do You Know When You Are Seriously Ready TO Sell Your Home?

Should I sell? Should I not sell? Will I get my money back?

 

           When people begin to think about their life and their future, they begin by asking themselves a series of questions. The answers to those questions are what ultimately helps the individual make any valuable decisions that might alter their life.  For many people a house is not just a home, it is a part of their life, a part of themselves. Most people have a bit of an emotional attachment to their house, they grew up there, they started their life together, kids were raised there, etc.  The decision to sell your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you might make. Before you sign that agreement and put that sign in your front yard I have put together a few things to consider when contemplating the sale of your home.

  1. Why are you considering the sale of your home?- Are you downsizing? Upsizing? Are you having a difficult time making your mortgage payments? Are you tired of the area? Whatever the reason might be I cannot stress how important it is to ask yourself these or similar questions and fully understand your answers. Taking your time and answering these questions will help eliminate the rushing to a potential regrettable decision.
  2. Are there alternatives to your selling your home? –If you are having a difficult time making your mortgage payments have you looked in to all your options? Would renting out your home be a better alternative? How about adding on to the home?
  3. How much do you expect to get for your home? Your home is only worth as much as someone else is willing to pay for it. The determination of what that dollar may be is very hard to estimate unless you are in the market. However, somehow you should make this estimate before you can make an informed decision to sell.
