What is Your Home Worth Right Now? Find Out Now!
When is the best time to sell my house?
First off, if your home is under $500k the current market is currently YOUR market. In this article we’re going to explain why you should sell your house now, and then list the first three important steps to take in that direction, and they’re really quite natural.
Overall, the real estate market in Metro Phoenix currently caters to sellers selling homes under $500k. If you’re going to sell, watch the market, and if you’re watching the market, it’s going to tell you to contact a Realtor® and get the ball rolling now. Don’t wait. Waiting to sell until the time is right, or when you simply get around to it, will cost you. Real estate is not comparable to selling your car, or your RV. Your house is a much bigger investment and should be treated as such. If you know a new home is somewhere on your horizon, or you’ve asked yourself, when is the best time to sell my home, here are the first three important steps to getting there. And they’re quite simple.
Step 1: Clean while you think
Just as you’re considering selling your house, equally, you should be cleaning it. You’re not going to get optimal ROI on a dirty, cluttered house. If you have things that take some time like applying a fresh coat of paint, patching dead grass, or re-carpeting a room in your house, get on it immediately. It’s going to need to get done anyway, and if it’s going to protect your investment, it’s a priority. Likewise, get on the small stuff, too. Tighten loose fixtures, replace light-bulbs, donate old clothes and furniture taking up space in your garage or rooms, address landscaping needs, clean your pool, and tackle the mountain of dirty laundry. If it needs to get done, and you’ve been putting it off, do it.

Step 2: Find a competent real estate agent
Step two is finding a competent real estate agent in your area who is well informed on the market and who has a strong marketing plan that has an active buyer outreach incorporated into it. Once you have found her, put it up for sale.

Step 3: The sooner you put it up for sale, the better
This way allows you plenty of time to sift through the offers and work on improving your house to attract the offers you’re hoping for. Only when you list your house for sale will you notice matters to which you were blinded from, usually when you get offers nowhere near what you’re asking. By listing it sooner rather than later, you have the time to correct these matters in your favor.
Sometimes we don’t notice things until we’re in action, and usually this is when real progress happens…just like Picaso said, “Action is the foundational key to all success.” We learn the most important and applicable knowledge while we’re in action. So, put your house up for sale and get into action and learn a lot along the way. Not only will you be one step closer to the next chapter in your life, but, naturally, you’ll be a more learned investor, too.
“A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement.” – Bo Bennett
