Should You Sell Now or Wait?


Why you shouldn’t wait until the fall to sell your property?


"Should I wait until the fall to sell?” I’ve been hearing this question from clients a lot recently, and my response is always to share the three key advantages of selling a home now:


1. Sellers can currently negotiate extra time to shop. Most buyers don’t need to move until next season. If snowbirds don’t need to use a property, many of them will spend the holidays up north with family and come down to Florida in January. This means you could negotiate a seven- or eight-month closing to lease-back agreement with your buyer. This allows you to move seamlessly and spend more time looking for a property you truly love.


"Now might be the last time to get top dollar for your home."

 

 

2. A quick close can save you a ton of money in carrying costs. If you don’t plan on using your property over the summer, I can help you close quickly to avoid carrying costs. This means you won’t have to pay property taxes, HOA fees, utilities, or unforeseen repairs.

3. Housing prices might drop in the near future. Economists predict that prices may correct soon due to rising interest rates. Now might be the last time to get top dollar for your home, so if getting the most money possible is important for you, don’t delay. 

Given these three factors, there’s no reason not to sell now. If you have any questions, call or text today at (239) 248-8000. I’d love to help you.
