\"Sell<\/p>\n

As you look ahead to the winter season, you\u2019re likely making plans and thinking about what you want to achieve before the year ends. One of those key decision points could be whether or not you want to move this year. If the location or size of your current home no longer meets your needs, finding a house that better suits your lifestyle may be a top priority for you. But with today\u2019s cooling housing market, is it really a good time to sell your house<\/a>, or should you wait?<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready to make your decision, here are three reasons you may want to consider selling before the holidays.<\/p>\n

1. Get One Step Ahead of Other Sellers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Typically, in the residential real estate market, homeowners are less likely to list their houses toward the end of the year. That\u2019s because people get busy around the holidays and deprioritize selling their house until the start of the new year when their schedules and social calendars calm down.<\/p>\n

Selling now, while other homeowners may hold off until after the holidays, can help your house stand out. Start the process with a real estate professional today so you can get your house on the market and get ahead of your competition.<\/p>\n

2. Get in Front of Serious Buyers This Season<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Even though housing supply<\/a> has increased this year as buyer demand has moderated, it\u2019s still low overall. That means there aren\u2019t enough homes on the market today, especially as the millennial generation<\/a> reaches their peak homebuying years. As Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American<\/em>, says<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhile not the frenzy of 2021, the largest living generation, the Millennials, will continue to age into their prime home-buying years, creating a demographic tailwind for the housing market<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Serious buyers will still be looking this winter and your house may be exactly what they\u2019re searching for. If you work with an agent to list your house now, you\u2019ll be able to get in front of the eager buyers who are hoping to make a move before the year ends.<\/p>\n

3. Seize a Great Chance To Move Up<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Don\u2019t forget, today\u2019s homeowners have record amounts of equity<\/a>. According to CoreLogic<\/em><\/a>, the average amount of equity per mortgage holder has climbed to almost $300,000. That\u2019s an all-time high. That means the equity you have in your house right now could cover some, if not all, of a down payment<\/a> on the home of your dreams.<\/p>\n

And as you weigh the reasons to sell before winter, don\u2019t lose sight of why you\u2019re thinking about moving in the first place. Maybe it\u2019s time to buy a house that\u2019s in a better location for you, has the space you and your loved ones have been craving, or simply gives you that sense of home<\/em>. A trusted real estate advisor can help you determine how much home equity you have and how you can use it to achieve your goal of making a move<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about selling your house so you can find a home that better suits your needs, don\u2019t delay your plans. Let\u2019s connect so you can accomplish your goals before winter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
