You might be asking yourself, “when is the right time to sell my home?”

I don’t want to be pulling your leg but only you know the answer to that question. There’s a better question you could be asking which is “why do I want to sell my home?”

• Is it a want or is it a need?
• Wanting to live in a bigger home?
• Maybe live in a new location?
• Or do you need to relocate because of a new job?
• Or unfortunately need to because a divorce or a foreclosure?

You need to know your reasons before you go any further. So please write down your top 3 reasons of wanting/needing to sell, although having 1 reason might be all that you need.

And if you have a spouse, make sure that both of your reasons of wanting to sell at least match. If they don’t, you have to find a middle ground that both of you can live with, or it’ll cause problems down the road when you’re selling your home. And when you’re in the process of selling, those problems aren’t things that you’d really want to be dealing with. You can even lose the opportunity to sell if both partners aren’t on the same page with each other at closing.

You need to know your reasons of wanting to sell. Because at the end of the day, all homes can be sold, but when you know your reasons, you’ll be able to gauge by when do you want your home sold for and for how much.
