How Do you know if it is the right time to sell your San Ramon home?
So you’ve finally made the decision, and you think you are ready to sell your San Ramon home. That’s great – congratulations! That being said, though, there are a few things that you need to consider before you can sell the home and make the move, and there are a few important things you have to take into account to make sure you are ready to sell your home. Let’s review:
How much is your current home worth? If you own your current home and need to sell it to purchase a new home, it is very important to ask yourself, "How much is my home worth?" There are a few websites on the Internet that provide some basic detail as to your home value, but they could easily be off by a significant margin. A good real estate agent can put together a competitive market analysis that will provide significantly more depth and accuracy about your home value than online websites.
Have you purchased your new home yet? Before you sell your current home, you need to determine where you are going to live. Have you purchased your new home yet? Are you going to live in an apartment or a rental home for the time being? After all, if you sell your home and have nowhere to go once you move out – well, you’re in trouble! Make sure you have some sort of out so you can get the most out of selling your home and moving forward.
Price, price, price. When it comes to selling your home, you always need to wonder whether or not now is the right time. After all, it’s critical that you get a good price for your investment and a wise profit off your home. Is the price currently the price that you want for your home? Are you getting a good investment from that which you’ve put into the house in the first place? Or would you be better served to wait a few months or a year to sell when the market is stronger?
Is it the right time to sell? Linked to price, is this the right time to sell? Not only from a price and financial investment but also from a familial and logistical point of view – are you psychologically and physically ready to sell your house? It can be difficult to sell a house – especially one in which you may have had quite a few memories from past lives and times – so make sure that you are truly ready to sell before you put it on the market and start seriously entertaining buyers to come through and make a purchase.
Who’s your real estate agent? Finally, you’re going to need a real estate agent! It’s a bad move to move without a qualified and experienced agent with you looking out for your best interest, and it can be both time-consuming and incredibly confusing to sell your San Ramon home on your own. Working with a real estate agent, though, can give you the inside information and the important scoop that you need to make a wise choice. Be sure to carefully review your San Ramon realtor testimonials.
