Thinking of selling?

With our world turned upside down, many potential sellers are still trying to figure out if now is the right time to make a move. If you fall into this category, we’d like to share some insights we’ve heard from our agent network and tips we’ve picked up from recent experiences...

1. Selling in a down market means you can buy in a down market. If you list now, you might sell a bit lower, but the money will go a lot further for you. Think of the dream home — and home office — you could get at a discount!

2. Active buyers are more serious than ever before. A lot of people have spent the past five months stuck at home in an undesirable situation and watching mortgage interest rates fall to record lows. That means they’re motivated to make a deal!

3. Price so the market chases you up, not down. If you price your home too high, you may scare off some interested buyers. Price too low, and you’ll miss out on a good return. Find the sweet spot, and start a bidding war for your property!

4. We don’t know what the future holds. Don’t take this moment for granted. This unprecedented year is far from over, and the market could freeze up at any time. If your home needs a little TLC to shine, you should take advantage while contractors are still allowed to work inside!

As always, if you'd like a closer look at how the market is playing out in your neighborhood, just let us know! - Pearl (The Chic) & Kevin (The Geek)
