Are You Asking Yourself These

Questions About Selling Your House?

If you’re debating whether you want to sell right now, it might be because you
have some unanswered questions. Here’s some information that can help.

1. Is It Even a Good Idea To Move Right Now?

If you own a home already, you may be tempted to wait because you don’t want to sell and take
on a higher mortgage rate on your next house. But your move may be a lot more feasible than
you think, and that’s because of how much your house has likely grown in value.

Think about it. Do you know a neighbor who’s sold their house recently? If so, did you hear
what it sold for? With how much home values have gone up in recent years, the number may
surprise you.

According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors
(NAR), the typical homeowner has gained $147,000 in housing wealth in the last five

years alone. That’s significant – and when you sell, that increase in value can give you what
you need to fund your next move.
