Is It Time to Sell? Let Your Lifestyle Be the Guide!

Are you on the fence about whether to sell your house now or wait? It’s a common dilemma, but here’s something important to consider: your lifestyle might be the biggest factor in your decision. While finances matter, personal reasons for moving could be enough to make the leap sooner rather than later. 🏡✨

An annual report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) sheds light on why homeowners decide to sell, and all the top reasons are tied to life changes. The biggest motivators include the desire to be closer to friends or family, outgrowing their current house, or experiencing significant life events like getting married or having a baby. Downsizing or relocating for work also made the list. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦📦

If you’re in a similar situation, needing features, space, or amenities that your current home can’t provide, it might be time to consider selling. Your needs matter, and Krista Klause, your trusted realtor, can walk you through your options and what to expect from today’s market. This will help you make a confident decision based on what’s most important to you and your loved ones. 💬

Krista can also help you understand how much equity you have and how it can make moving easier. As Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com, points out:

“A consideration today’s homeowners should review is what their home equity picture looks like. With the typical home listing price up 40% from just five years ago, many home sellers are sitting on a healthy equity cushion. This means they are likely to walk away from a home sale with proceeds that they can use to offset the amount of borrowing needed for their next home purchase.”

Bottom Line

Your lifestyle needs might be the motivation you need to make a change. If you want help weighing the pros and cons of selling your house, contact Krista Klause and her team for more information about the market. We’re here to help you make the best decision for your future! 😊📞
