Deciding to Sell
-
Are
you ready to leave?
Moving
is stressful! It also tends to be emotional, especially if you’ve
lived in your current home for many years. Are you really ready to
go?
-
Moving
Up
One of the most common reasons for selling, and generally considered
a successful long-term wealth builder. But are there other options?
-
Financial
and tax implications
Especially in this area of higher priced homes, it’s
important to consider the tax consequences of selling.
-
Selling
for financial reasons
These commonly include a reduction in income, increased expenses
(e.g. college tuitions) and the need to save or invest more to meet
goals.
-
Remodeling
vs. Selling
Will the neighborhood support your improvements? What costs
are involved with selling (new mortgage fees, closing costs, moving
costs, etc.)?
-
Selling
for retirees
Kids gone? Too much space? Reinvesting the proceeds from the
sale of an appreciated home can significantly improve your post-retirement
budget.
-
Sell
First or Buy First?
Contingency clauses are frowned upon. Can you carry both properties?
Are you willing to rent?
-
Rent
instead of sell
In some circumstances, renting your home may be an alternative
to selling. Being a landlord is no picnic, however!
-
When
is the best time to sell?
If you have no time constraints, market conditions can certainly
be a factor. Your REALTOR® is knowledgeable and happy to advise
you about your local market conditions.
