“WHEN IS THE PERFECT TIME TO MOVE?”
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” moment to buy or sell your home, you’re not alone. Many people wrestle with timing, but here’s the truth: the perfect time is less about the market and more about your personal needs.
Right now, we’re seeing signs of a stabilizing real estate market, and experts project more buyers will re-enter the market this year. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), buyer demand is expected to increase as mortgage rates gradually decline. If you’re ready to move, don’t let waiting for the “perfect” conditions hold you back. Life happens, and the right agent (like the Marty Rodriguez Team!) can help you make the most of the current market.
If Your House’s Price Is Not Compelling, It’s Not Selling
Pricing your home correctly is one of the most important factors in today’s real estate market. With buyers being more cautious due to rising interest rates, homes priced strategically are the ones that sell. Overpricing can lead to extended time on the market and missed opportunities.
A compelling price attracts attention, drives competition, and helps you sell faster. According to Zillow, correctly priced homes sell 10% faster and are more likely to attract multiple offers. If you’re considering selling, let’s discuss how to position your home to stand out.
Why More People Are Buying Multi-Generational Homes Today
Did you know multi-generational homes are becoming increasingly popular? These homes offer flexibility, cost savings, and convenience for families looking to live together under one roof. Whether it’s to care for aging parents, support adult children, or simply create a shared living space, this trend is reshaping how families approach homeownership.
The Pew Research Center reports that as of 2023, nearly 20% of U.S. households were multi-generational, a significant increase from previous years. If you’re interested in exploring homes that fit this lifestyle, let’s talk about what’s available in your area.
What’s Happening in Your Market?
Local real estate trends are shifting. Homes are still selling (around 11,000 per day nationwide, according to NAR), but having a strong strategy is essential. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding your local market is key to success.
