So, you’re tossing around the idea of selling your house, huh? Before you dive in, let’s chat about what’s driving this urge to switch things up. According to a recent survey from Realtor.com, folks are eyeing the “For Sale” sign for a couple of main reasons:

Let’s zoom in a bit and see if these reasons are ringing a bell for you too.

Making Some Cash

If the thought of selling has got you scratching your head with questions, here’s a bit of good news – recent data shows that most sellers are raking in a tidy profit. ATTOM, the data gurus, break it down like this:

“. . . home sellers made a $121,000 profit on the typical sale in 2023, generating a 56.5 percent return on investment.”

That’s nothing to sneeze at! One big reason behind this? Well, during the pandemic, home prices shot up faster than a rocket. Demand was high, supply was low, and boom – prices went through the roof.

Sure, prices are still climbing, just not as meteorically. But hey, any extra dough you make can help soften the blow of today’s crazy housing market when you’re on the hunt for your next place.

If you’re curious about how much your home could fetch in today’s market or what’s cooking with prices in your neck of the woods, why not shoot the breeze with a local real estate agent?

Family Stuff

Maybe you’re itching to be closer to family, whether it’s to lend a hand with Grandma or just to catch more family get-togethers. Packing up and moving nearer to the folks who matter most can help keep those bonds strong. If you’re feeling the sting of distance during important family moments, maybe it’s time to hit up a local real estate whiz to scout out a spot nearby. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) says:

“A great real estate agent will guide you through the home search with an unbiased eye, helping you meet your buying objectives while staying within your budget.”

Wrapping it Up

So, if the idea of selling is bouncing around your noggin, chances are there’s a pretty solid reason behind it. Let’s shoot the breeze so I can lend a hand in making sure you make the right moves to hit your goals this year.
