loan demands. Both of these will slow immensely in the winter cutting the time and the dissatisfaction these delays cause both buyers and sellers.

Buyers will have to make a selection on a limited inventory giving you the upper hand. Don’t put off listing until spring when other potential sellers in your market have beat you to it.

Only The Serious Buyers Are Out

During this crucial time of the year, only buyers who are serious about purchasing a home will be in the marketplace. You and your family won’t be disturbed and troubled by ‘lookers’. The lookers are at the mall or on the web doing their Christmas shopping. Also, a lot of buyers would like to be settled in their new home before the new year.

There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move-Up

Provided that you are upgrading to a bigger, more costly home, consider doing it now. Costs are anticipated to appreciate by over 25% from now to 2018. In the event that you are moving to a higher end home, it will wind-up costing you more in raw dollars (both in the down payment and mortgage payment) provided that you wait. You can additionally lock in your 30 year home loan with historically low investment rates at the time being. There is no guarantee that rates will stay at these levels in years to come.

Now Is The Perfect Time To Move On With Your Life

Is your health worth less to you than the money you’d get from the sale? Is raking in more money more important than having the freedom to go on with your life the way you think it should be?

You’ve already answered the questions we just asked, and you have the ability of take back control of the situation by pricing your home to sell. The time has approached for you and your family to proceed onward and begin carrying on with the life you crave. That is what is truly important.
