It certainly is a challenging market for both buyers and sellers. Perhaps you are a seller who is locked into a low interest rate and may find it difficult to justify “a move” – even though life circumstances tell you that you really would like to “make the move.” Perhaps with the low inventory market we are experiencing, there is a fear that you won’t be able to find a home that meets your wants/needs to move into, after your home sells. And yes, your home will sell quickly and in some cases over asking, if strategically priced with no major objections. Let me just say this, and I know I don’t have to but … “You should never let fear dictate how you make decisions”. Don’t get me wrong – it is something to take under consideration no doubt – but in the end don’t let the fear ultimately keep you stuck in a place you don’t want to be. If this all sounds familiar to you, might I suggest you look at the BIG picture, and through your decision-making process, weigh in on the importance of your “why.” Everyone has a “why” – that’s what makes life happen right? As a real estate professional, and in all my 22 years of practicing real estate, I have never left any of my seller clients homeless 🙂 Together we will formulate a plan on how to move forward, put contingencies in place to protect you, so you never have to worry about that.
Perhaps you are a buyer looking for your first home or maybe looking to upsize your current home. In either case – there is a “why” involved here. Maybe newly married, looking to set down some roots in a community, or perhaps your family is bursting at the seams, and you are looking for more space. There is a want and a need to your why – and consulting with a real estate professional and a mortgage professional would be a good place to start. Both will listen to what goals you are looking to achieve, and as the professionals will give you the information you need, along with the best guidance on how best to make your why a reality.
So, understand your why first, and think about what that looks like to you – then take the steps necessary to prepare to “be ready” is key to making anything happen! Timing does play a role in anything you do, no doubt. My message I’d like to bring across is this … Don’t let fear dictate how you live your life and where you live it. But do “get informed”. For some it may be a few easy steps that you may not have even thought of. For others, there may a few more steps involved. But in either case if your goal is to make a move, consult with the professionals to see how they can assist you in making your why a reality. Everything has its time … focusing on your why, will help get you where you want to be on your time.
As a professional real estate agent, it is important for me to keep up with the market. And learn all I can learn to better assist you. It arms my clients with the information they need to help them move forward in a way that makes sense to them.
If you are thinking about making a move, but have some questions – I am happy to discuss all things real estate. Give me a call … I am here to help!
