Why are you selling?
The first question you should ask yourself is "Why am I selling?"
Are you selling because you want a bigger home, or smaller home? Are you being transferred by your job, looking for a better neighbourhood or community? Perhaps you’ve come into some financial trouble and have to sell right away. Or, you want to get your equity out of your house now and buy something else.
Determining your motivation for selling will also help determine the amount of time you have to accomplish that. And, when putting your house on the market, timing is everything. One important factor to keep in mind is that no matter what your situation, you want to price your house right.
