If you’re trying to decide whether or not to sell your house, Fannie Mae’s recent Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) reveals that the majority of consumers, 75 percent, say now is a good time to sell a house. Why? Because it is still a strong seller’s market… meaning we still don’t have enough homes for sale to meet buyer demand.
If you are thinking about getting ready to sell, either this year or preparing for next spring market, contact us to discuss your action list. You may be surprised what is and isn’t suggested for your home! In the meantime, the checklist below from our blog at Keeping Current Matters is a good guide to help you get started.
