With mortgage rates declining and listings increasing, the market in many cities is now balanced, while others even favor buyers. As a result, sellers aiming for top dollar must now be more tactical when listing their homes.
Selling your home in the fall can be tricky. The summer rush is over, and buyers are starting to hibernate for the approaching holidays. And yet, if done right, sellers can still land a great deal.
The summer offers buyers eager to close a deal before the school year begins, good weather, and a window when there won’t be as many sellers competing for listing views.
If you’re selling your home, you have probably forgotten to clean a few spots you no longer notice—but buyers definitely will.
Putting your home on the market with an outstanding mortgage is the norm. Most sellers are still paying off their loans when that “For Sale” sign hits the lawn.
You may wonder why your home isn’t selling. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to (hopefully) ensure that it does.
This is what homeowners need to know if they're going through a breakup or divorce.
Expenses to sell a home include everything from real estate agent commissions to home preparation and staging costs, to administrative fees. Understanding the costs is crucial to assessing your potential profits and avoiding unexpected financial burdens.
Your home’s curb appeal—or lack thereof—also has a powerful impact on would-be buyers.
Whether you’re buying or selling this season, success may come down to reading your local market—and adjusting your strategy accordingly.
