Is Now the Right Time to Sell Your Home? A Deep Dive.

The real estate market has been a rollercoaster over the past 18 months. With inventory levels fluctuating and interest rates stabilizing, many homeowners are asking the same question: Is now the moment to list?

Understanding the Current Inventory

One of the biggest drivers of home prices is supply and demand. Currently, we are seeing a historic low in housing inventory. This means that for sellers, competition is low, and your property is more likely to stand out.

However, buyers are more discerning than ever. The days of putting a sign in the yard and getting 20 offers over asking price in an hour are cooling. Preparation is key.

"In this market, pricing strategy is everything. Overpricing by even 5% can lead to your home sitting on the market for months."— Sarah Jenkins, Senior Broker

The Interest Rate Factor

While rates have ticked up, serious buyers are still active. Many are looking to lock in a home before any potential future hikes. This creates a window of opportunity for sellers who present a turnkey property.
