I've talked with several folks over the past few weeks who are thinking about possibly selling their homes this year and it struck me that they all had the same three basic questions. As I have reflected further, I have concluded that these really are the three main questions you should be focusing on if you are considering the sale of your home in 2021...
- How much well my current home sell for?
- What should I consider doing to my home before I list it for sale?
- Are there houses available that are both something that I would want to buy and something that I can afford?
So, if there have been any conversations floating around your house lately about "maybe we should sell our house and buy a new one" but you have had a hard time figuring out where and how to start thinking about that possible transition, I'll point you to the three questions above.
As a starting point for answering those questions, I can pop by your house for a brief meeting to address each of the three areas above...
- We'll walk through your home together and I'll take some notes so that I can follow up after our meeting with some feedback on the potential value of your home in the current market.
- As we walk through and around the house we can discuss any projects or improvements or repairs that you are considering that might make sense to make your property show best once on the market, if you decide to sell.
- We can chat more about what you would hope to buy so that we can determine whether there are or will be good possibilities for you on the buying end of the transaction, and what that will cost you for budgeting purposes.
There are certainly many more questions that you might already have, or that you will have along the way -- but these three questions seem to be the big picture questions that most seller/buyers have when they are considering selling and then buying.
Feel free to be in touch if you'd like to schedule a time to meet to discuss these and any other questions. Most folks in this situation don't really know if they will actually sell and buy - which is quite OK. I'm happy to help explore the possibilities with you so you can figure out if a move makes sense for you.
