Ten years is the average amount of time a homeowner stays in a house before a sale, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Here are some telltale signs it’s time to start looking for the next home and packing your bags (and when you should settle in for the long haul).
1. You know the seller’s market is booming and you want in
2. Because your neighbors just got what for their house?
3. You’re sick of feeling financially stressed
4. You’ve grown—but your home hasn’t
5. You’re over ‘high maintenance’
6. You’ve put at least 5 years into the relationship
Of course, there are no promises that selling will be better for you in the long run. Take your time deciding if you should sell, and then study the local home sales market. Do this with the help of your real estate agent, before you price your home. If you under-price your home, a buyer may snatch it up too cheaply. If you overprice it, the right buyer may pass it by.
Selling your home is, above all, a personal decision. Do what will help you live—if not happily ever after—happily for now. For a more detailed look at the topic go bmre.us/hint10.
