Selling?
Yes.  For sure.  You should definitely sell your house right now to take advantage of this market.

...

But...

Where will you go?  Where will you live?

I have had this conversation (maybe I should sell my house!) with quite a few folks over the past few months.  They are seeing homes sell in their neighborhood at prices that seem unrealistically high.  It causes many neighboring property owners to say -- wow, maybe I should sell!!?

And, indeed, it can be a great time to sell your home right now...

...if you have a plan for where you will go next and what you will do next!

If you thought your home was worth $300K a year ago and now it seems like it could sell for $350K, that's exciting!  It might make you want to just go ahead and sell and capture all of that equity that you now apparently have in your home.

But... are you going to upgrade to that $400K house you were dreaming about a year ago?  That house is likely now selling for $450K or higher.

So, as exciting as it may be to think about selling your house to take advantage of the current market, we need to thoroughly examine what you will do (where you will live) after you sell to make sure that you are comfortable with the overall game plan.
