Have you been putting off the
home-selling process in
Boston, even though you’ve been ready to sell for a while? Are you ready to
move up to a better home? Have you wanted to
relocate closer to family, or
closer to your job? Are you ready to retire into assisted living, or downsize
as empty nesters? Whatever the reason, as your
Boston real estate agent, I’m
here to tell you that now is an excellent time to
sell your Boston home!
Here are some reasons why
KCM Crew says you should consider
selling this fall:
1.
Demand from Boston homebuyers is strong. Mortgage rates fell
last week and remain at yearly lows, which was not predicted for this year!
Still, economists predict that rates will rise by at least one percent in the
next year, which means that buyers can save a lot of money by purchasing a home
now. The more buyers that are eager to buy, the more interest you’ll get in
your home, and the more negotiating power you’ll have!
2.
Now is the time to move up. If you want to
sell your Boston home and move up to a bigger or better home, low mortgage rates affect you too.
If you
buy a Boston home now, you’ll save yourself hundreds of dollars per
month on your monthly mortgage payment by getting a low mortgage rate. Start
the pre-approval process now and see what type of rate you can get!
3. There is less competition. Inventory is still below normal
levels, and while new home inventory is expected to make a comeback soon, it
hasn’t yet. A recent survey showed that 41 percent of buyers prefer a new
house, over 21 percent who prefer an existing house. Take advantage of the low
competition by selling now, while buyers are eager! This is an ideal
situation.
4.
The process is faster this time of year. The length of time it takes from contract to closing has increased this year, due to more
requirements and paperwork from banks. The summer time is busy, because the
Boston real estate market is very active. The winter months take a long time
because of the holiday season. Right now, during the fall, is the best time of
year for a smooth transaction!
5.
It’s time to move on. No matter what reason you have for
wanting to
sell your Boston home, why are you waiting to accomplish that goal?
Home prices are up, mortgage rates are still down, home equity is returning,
foreclosure numbers are way down, and the housing recovery is steadily
continuing. Now is the time to
relocate, or move up, or grow your family, or
start a new job, or downsize, and move on with your life and your dreams.
When you’re ready to
sell your Boston home, contact me, your
Boston real estate agent. I would love to help you accomplish your real estate
goals in the
Boston real estate market!
