What to Consider When Selling Your Home Fast When you are considering sell your home Fast, it’s easy to get lost in all of the confusion. Is there a time of year where homes sell faster? Should I sell before I buy my next home? What repairs need to be made before I can even think about selling? We sat down with a representative from Quick Sale YEG, a company that specializes in buying homes fast in the Edmonton, Alberta and we buy houses Edmonton area to discuss some of these questions.
1. Does the time of year make a difference when someone is trying to sell their home? Selling a home and moving are major life events. It’s not something one does over a weekend to kill boredom. It’s something that often requires thought and planning. To say most people consider moving at a given time of year would be disingenuous. Most people need to have a reason to move; new job, kids left the home and it’s too big/empty without them, death in the family, and many more. Of course, in the desert city of Edmonton, moving in the summer is a bit tiresome given how hot it can get.
2. Should I buy a new home before selling my current home? There are a lot of factors one needs to take into account to answer this question. First and foremost is understanding what impact this will have on the seller’s family and bank account. Selling first gives the advantage of having cash on hand for purchasing your new home, but there is an uncertainty of how long it will take to find, purchase, and move into a new home. A family with children still in school may need to find temporary accommodations near the schools the children will or are currently attending. In some instances, those accommodations may not be as close to the schools as you’d like which could make it difficult to get them to school every day. On the other hand, buying first allows you to know exactly where you will live and when you can move in; however, you may not have the funds on hand to get into your new home. Quick Sale Said “We Buy Houses” It’s a delicate balance, but it’s something to consider.
