This might be hard to hear. 

But if you want to make the most of your money, you need to understand this! 

If there’s one thing you should know about real estate, it’s that homes typically appreciate over time. This results in increased home prices year after year. 

What happens when home prices rise? The down payment you need to buy that same home increases. 

If you feel like the goalposts keep moving, you’re not wrong! That’s just the nature of the real estate market (and also what makes buying a home such a smart financial investment!). 

Remember: it’s impossible to time the market. Instead, focus on buying a home when it makes sense for your life and your financial situation. 

Can we all agree on something? 

Your choice of real estate agent will have the BIGGEST impact on your real estate experience. If you work with the right agent, then you’ll have a great experience even throughout all the challenges that come with buying or selling your home. 

But if you work with the wrong agent, someone you can’t trust… then chances are that you won’t have a positive experience/ 

This is why it’s so important to interview real estate agents and look for 2 traits:

#1 Trait to Look For: The highest level of service and knowledge- and fact-based information so YOU can determine if you want to buy or sell. Real estate agents with this trait will present you with all the information and data you need to make your choice. They empower you to make the choice that’s right for you.

#1 Trait to AVOID: High-pressure sales tactics that pressure you into feeling like you have to buy or sell NOW. These real estate agents don’t care about you–they’re just looking for the commission. They won’t provide you with the data and knowledge you need to make the decision yourself and instead focus on convincing you that you have to buy or sell now. 

If you find an agent who provides you with the data and info you need to make a smart decision, then that’s a major green flag! But be cautious of any agents who use high-pressure tactics to “sell” you on working with them.

This could save you thousands of dollars! 

Sometimes sellers will start the process of getting their home ready for the market and they’ll want to renovate EVERYTHING. 

But this could be a huge mistake and net you a low return on investment. 

Instead of just jumping in blind, the best thing you can do is check what has been selling in your area–and how much it has been selling for.

The problem comes up with sellers improving their homes to their specific tastes, rather than looking at what’s actually selling. 

You might love a dark, dramatic kitchen, but if buyers in your area are leaning towards light and bright eating spaces, you could be working against yourself.

Equity Boost:

If your home's value has seen a significant increase, it's a clear green flag to consider selling. The equity boost could open up exciting possibilities for your next real estate move.

Life Changes:

Whether it's a growing family, an empty nest, or a new job opportunity, significant life changes often signal it's time to move. If your current home no longer aligns with your lifestyle, it might be the perfect moment to sell.

Home Improvements Pay Off:

If you've invested in strategic home improvements, and they're paying off with increased functionality and appeal, it's a green flag to showcase these enhancements on the market.

Financial Preparedness:

If you've done the math, assessed your financial readiness, and have a clear understanding of the costs involved in selling, you're on the right track. Being financially prepared is a key green flag.

Home Upgrade Enthusiasm:

Feeling the itch to upgrade or move into a different neighborhood? If you find yourself daydreaming about a new kitchen, extra space, or a change of scenery, it could be a sign that you're emotionally ready to sell.

If you resonate with these green flags, it might be the perfect time to explore the possibilities of selling your home. Ready to take the next step?
