I’m often asked this question and my answer is… it depends. Ask yourself, “Where will I go?” and “Can I afford this move?” Real Estate prices are high in just about every market. If you have a current mortgage, your interest rate is most likely far less than if you’ll have to pay for a new one.

How much equity do you have in your current home, and will you be downsizing? If the answer to these basic questions is a positive one, then it may be a good time to consider selling. A good start is to invite a Real Estate professional to give you an accurate assessment of its current value. Review the comparable homes that have sold in your area recently with this agent. Be realistic in your pricing. Then, if you decide to move forward, that agent should also advise you as to what preparations you should make to your house before actually going on the market. Winter months are ideal for this, as spring is the best time to go live. We are not expecting prices to continue to rise as we get deeper into 2023, so spring 2023 seems ideal. Best wishes for what ever you decide!
