Wondering if you should sell your housz this year? As you make your decision, think about what’s motivating you to consider moving. A recent survey from realtor.com asked why houszowners are thinking about selling their houszes this year. Here are the top two reasons (see graphic below):
Let’s break those reasons down and explore how they might resonate with you.
1. I Want To Take Advantage of the Current Market and Make a Profit
When you decide to sell your housz, how much you’ll make from the sale will likely be top of mind. So, here’s some good news: according to the latest data, the average seller can expect a strong return on their investment when they make a move. ATTOM explains:
“The $112,000 profit on median-priced housz sales in 2022 represented a 51.4% return on investment compared to the original purchase price, up from 44.6% last year and from 32.8% in 2020.”
Even though housz prices have declined slightly in some markets, they’re still much higher overall than they were just a few years ago. To understand what’s happening with housz prices in your area and the current value of your housz, work with a local real estate professional. They can give you the best advice on how much you could gain if you sell this year.
2. My Housz No Longer Meets My Needs
The average person has been in their housz for ten years. That’s a long time when you think about how much may have changed in your life since you moved in. And typically, those changes have a direct impact on what you need in a housz. Whether it’s more (or less) space, different features, or a location closer to your work or loved ones, your current housz may no longer check all the boxes of what feels like housz to you. If that’s the case, it could be time to work with a real estate agent to find a better fit.
Bottom Line
If you’re thinking about selling your housz, there’s probably a good reason for it. Let’s connect so you can make a move that’ll help you accomplish your goals this year.
