Should I sell my house now?

When is a good time to sell a house?

Spring and summer are traditionally ideal, but other factors can make selling the right move:

• Low inventory: With fewer homes on the market (like now), demand is high and homes sell quickly.
• Downsizing: A smaller home can lower costs and better fit your lifestyle.
• Relocating: If you’re moving for work or retirement, selling may be the next step.
• Life changes: The best time to sell is when it aligns with your personal goals.

When is a good time to wait?

Sometimes, holding off on selling makes more sense. Here’s when you might want to wait:

• Rising rates: Fewer qualified buyers can impact your sale price.
• Recent refinance: Selling too soon after refinancing could mean financial loss.
• Upsizing plans: Buying a larger home in a hot market might stretch your budget.
• Home needs work: A little prep now can mean a better offer later.
• No next step: If you don’t have a clear plan after selling, it might be best to pause.
