You’ll find tips and strategiesused by professionals, averagepeople selling their homesand everyone in between. Someof them may surprise you!Sell When You Have EquityEquity, which is the price ofthe house minus the remainingdebt from any loans, is theamount of money you will walkaway from the sale with. Themore equity, the better, as it canhelp with the real estate andlegal costs involved in selling ahome, not to mention helpingyou pay for your next home.Sell When Interest RatesAre LowFor instance, now the interestrates on mortgages are aslow as they have ever been forquite some time, and they’reonly going to increase fromhere. When interest rates arelow, it might be time to considerthat move you’ve been thinkingabout. With low interest rates, itgives a buyer a chance to affordmore of a house.Sell When You KnowPeople Are BuyingThis is where a realtor comesin handy. Selling when there arepeople looking for new homesin your area is a common-sensedecision. The only issue is findingout if or when people arelooking in your town to makea home purchase, which is typicallywhere a real estate agentcan help.Sell When Your House IsToo Big for YouIf you find yourself with toomany rooms to spare, selling ahouse that’s too big and buyinga smaller one is a sensible decision.Sell When Your House IsToo Small for YouPerhaps there is a new babyon the way, or some of your extendedfamily is moving in withyou. Now would be a time to sellif you need a few more rooms tofit everyone.Sell When the Work on theHouse Is DoneIf you have home-improvementprojects taking place,make sure they are finished andthe tools put away before listingthe house. A house in progresslooks like a house unready, anda house that looks like it needswork – even if it’s just somethingcosmetic – is less likely to sell.Sell When You Aren’tPanickingIf you are not in a rush to sell,then don’t act like you are – youwill get lower offers if buyersthink you’re in a hurry to skedaddle.If you are in a hurry tomove, try to be patient and waitfor the best offer possible.
