It may be time to Sell Your Home if any of these are happening

By

Should we sell our home or not? A question many Manchester NH area home owners are asking.  Some want to know what time of year to sell while others ponder if they should sell now or stay put. There are many reasons to sell. Each home owner though, needs to look at their situation and assess if the time is right. I love to give them the value of their home right now. I tell them how long it may take to sell and show them what is available when they tell me about the dream home they may want to move to next.

 

You may be ready to sell if any of these things are happening to you: (in no particular order....

 

Your home is TOO SMALL for you. You need more space. More bedrooms, more storage or additional bathrooms. Your having more kids perhaps?. 

 

Your home is TOO BIG.  It is time to downsize. You want 1 story. Bedrooms on the first floor and often no stairs.

 

You want MORE LAND. It is time to grow. You want room for the kids. You want more privacy. Perhaps a treed lot or even wide open fields.

 

You HATE YOUR NEIGHBOR. It can happen, houses too close. People too nosy. Too loud or too "anything" that makes you uneasy.

 

You are GETTING A DIVORCE. With half the population they say getting one, it is time to move on. You split, he moves, she moves, it is time to sell the home. Selling in a divorce can be testy. We specialize in divorce sales and make it easier on both parties to get the home sold and be comforting to both. 

 

The INLAWS are moving in. Also could be the parents or even the kids are moving back home. Homes with inlaw apartments also known as accessory apartments are very popular.

 

WORK RELATED: It is increasing people are buying or selling due to work. You have been relocated. Your ride to work is too long. Many reasons can fall under this. 

 

You need a home IN NEW or NEWER condition. Your current home is falling apart, roof leaks, furnace always goes out. Pipes drip or the wood is rotting. You want a new home. You want a home already in good condition.

 

Some reasons are serious, some comical and others for a need. We cater to all types of sellers. The key is we tell you your options. You decide if now is the time to buy or sell. 

 

 

The MOST IMPORTANT message is to share  with every consumer that my philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest.

Good morning, Scott... all good reasons to think about a new home. Interestingly, I read a blog post yesterday by one of our local top family law attorneys who said statistics show that when a home is sold in a divorce and people downsize long term they don't do as well financially vis-a-vis their real estate and that maybe the best thing is to hang on to a home if one can afford to carry it.

I have noticed one thing Nina Hollander , in a divoirce where the couple gets along and works together, we get a far higher price than the sale where they are fighting tooth and nail.

There are certainly a lot of good reasons to make the decision to move on to something new. I have fit into a few of these categories and will likely tackle more in the future.

People move for many reasons. Some reasons are personal, some economic, and some are lifestyle related. Whatever the reason, if you want your next move to be in Manchester, call Scott!

Good Morning Scott Godzyk 

Market timing is near impossible. They place their home on the active market when they have made the decision and have the house ready to go.

Hi Scott- whatever the reasons are for someone to decide to sell their home, the best thing they can do in the Manchester, NH area is to hire you.

Morning Scott.

With the worlds largest employer in our area, there is a lot of movement around here.  People being transferred, retiring and moving elsewhere.  It keeps the doors open
