When is the best time to trade up to a larger home? We get this question now and then!
1. NOW, when interest rates are at historical lows - and are even favorable on a higher loan amount, on a trade up home of higher value / cost.
2. NOW, Spring, when there is more inventory, generally, than the rest of the year. And, generally, more buyers are looking. So, you have more potential buyers for your home, and you have more homes to choose from to trade up to. ONE BIG PLUS: If you need to sell your current home in order to buy another...This makes for easier timing of one sale with another - because you should more readily get a buyer for your current home in the Spring, you can then more speedily find another home in the same market - and make the settlements coiinciding.
When is the best time to trade up to a larger home? Now.
We hope this helps!
Getting it SOLD - for YOU!
