Signs You’re Ready to List Your Home
Do you ever find yourself going back and forth about whether or not to sell your home? As you contemplate your decision, there are many factors to consider, including the current state of the real etate market as well as your lifestyle and financial situation.
Should I sell?
After years of housing recovery, we are continuing to experience a shortage of inventory among homes for sale in today’s real estate market. Fortunately for you, it’s a total seller’s market right now. According to the National Association for REALTORS®, there was a recent 6.1 percent increase of existing home sales. This is the highest annual rate since September of 2013. Here are 5 signs it’s time to sell your home.
1
You’re running out of living space.
2
You’re not emotionally attached to your home anymore.
3
You can afford it.
4
Your equity is a force to be reckoned with.
No Yes
5
If you’re getting frustrated because you are feeling overcrowded in your home, or if you don’t have enough space for guests to sleep, then you may be ready to sell. Maybe your kids are outgrowing their rooms (literally) or you’re thinking about adding to your family. These are all signs that it’s about that time.
As you start going through the selling process things will be a lot more dificult for you and your REALTOR® if you still have some sort of emotional attachment to your home. Being attached decreases the likelihood that you’ll even want to listen to the real estate agent’s advice. In order to sell you need to be able to view your house as a product.
This is one of most significant factors when it comes to selling your home and moving somewhere else. Are you financially ready to make the leap? Review all costs and expenses related to selling, including moving costs, as well as the down payment and closing costs on your new home.
Ever since the housing market crashed, homeowners now have a tendency to be skeptical about putting their home on the market to sell. Thankfully, real estate has come back in full force. Increasing numbers of homeowners are getting their positive equity back and negative equity rates are at their lowest since 2012. Now is the perfect time to see where your equity stands. Do some research and have your home reappraised.
You are ready to make your decision.
Making the decision to sell your home can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. By partnering with a turstworthy real estate professional, you’ll get expert advice that will make the selling process a breeze. By considering all factors and working closely with a pro, you’ll be able to decide what is best for you and your family. So the choice is yours. Are you ready to list your home?

5 Cheap Ways to Renovate Your Kitchen and Sell Your Home Selling your home can sometimes involve spending money on home improvements that can put a dent in your wallet, especially when it comes to updating your kitchen. Fortunately, there are low-cost alternatives for kitchen renovations so it will stand out to buyers interested in your home and create the best first impression. Here are 5 easy and inexpensive ways to make your kitchen stand out without busting your budget. PAINT A fresh coat of paint is a quick and relatively cheap way to add some color and brighten up your kitchen for a great eye-catching look. Painting the walls with a lighter color will open up the kitchen, making it look brand new and bigger. LIGHTING Adding under cabinet lighting is a cheap way to update your kitchen. Strip lights and puck lights are especially helpful because they cast light onto the countertop. When choosing the type of light bulb, it is important to know that although fluorescent bulbs and L.E.D.’s save energy, they don’t show certain colors accurately, including reds, oranges or purples. Halogen and xenon lights do not save as much energy, but they show colors more accurately. ORGANIZERS Cabinet organizers, which can be as low as $30, are also a great way to update your kitchen. For a clean look and more appealing kitchen, it is important to make sure everything in your kitchen and cupboards are organized, which will allow you to take advantage of wasted cabinet corners. FLOORING Kitchen flooring can become very expensive in a hurry. Depending on the flooring currently installed, you should evaluate your options as you get ready to put your home on the market. For a cheap and simple option, consider adding area rugs and carpet runners to make your kitchen impress homebuyers without the major expense. REARRANGING Lastly, an easy and cheap way to update your kitchen is by moving things around. If there is an eating area in the kitchen, you can open up some new space by rearranging the table and chairs. It is all about eye flow when you walk into a kitchen for the first time, so moving things around can make a world of difference.
