Q: Why should I sell now?

A lot of property owners ask, “Is now the right time to sell?” The truth is, there’s no perfect time to sell, and trying to time the market is nearly impossible. Markets shift, interest rates fluctuate, and external events—like fires, elections, and economic changes—always create uncertainty. Instead of focusing on timing the market, the real question is: Does selling now align with your personal and financial goals?

1. The Market is Always Changing

  • Some buyers are motivated by today’s interest rates, others are waiting. There’s always someone looking for a home.

  • Home values go up and down, but in the long run, real estate is a solid asset. If selling now makes sense for you, it’s the right time.

2. Why Waiting Doesn’t Guarantee a Better Outcome

  • No one can predict exactly what will happen next—not agents, not economists, not even the Fed.

  • If prices rise, great—but if more sellers jump in, competition increases. If rates drop, buyer demand could go up, but so could home prices. There’s no way to guarantee the “best” conditions.

3. Sell When It Makes Sense for You

  • If you’re thinking about selling, focus on your goals, not market predictions.

  • Whether you want to upsize, downsize, cash out, or relocate, the best time to sell is when it benefits you.
