A little about your RealtorĀ®: I’ve lived in Virginia all my life, grew up in Fairfax County, VA; and, after raising my 3 children in the Fredericksburg area for the past ~25 years, I moved to beautiful Bedford County about 8 years ago.

Faith, family and serving others are what drives my life. I enjoy traveling, hiking, piano, and all things my grandchildren are into ;) I worked in Mortgage banking right out of college as a Loan Processor, Loan Closer, then Loan Underwriter. When my kids came along, I started a long career in public school accounting. Towards the end of those years, I obtained my real estate license, a passion I had wanted to pursue for a long time. In the beginning of those years, I partnered with a long time, high volume, extremely successful Broker where I learned the uniqueness of this profession while working hundreds of transactions.

TODAY’S QUESTION: Is NOW the best time to sell/buy or should I wait for the busier spring market or for interest rates to drop šŸ¤ž?? The answer is šŸ‘‡

ā€œThis is a terrible market to sell your home in. I’d just wait.ā€

There are two sides to this coin.

It’s a harder time to sell because buyers have a lot of options.

Sellers outnumber buyers which leads to less demand.

Less demand means that buyer doesn’t NEED your house. There are three more available on the next street over.

That buyer is going to play their hand as follows:

They want to come in under list price.
They want repairs done.
They want their closing costs covered.

And rightfully so.

Does this mean you shouldn’t sell?

NO.

It’s simply the market we’re in and these details need to be accounted for in the overall game plan.

Because guess what?

You’re going to turn around and be one of those buyers with ALL the same perks as soon as you do sell.

Let’s not forget. The opposite has been true in other types of markets.

2021?

What a time to sell right?

18 offers over list price on day one.
Buyers didn’t expect you to do anything.
You barely even needed pictures of your house.

But buying at that time?

An absolute NIGHTMARE.

You needed to pay all your closing costs.
You had to pay above the appraised value of the home OUT OF POCKET.
You couldn’t ask for repairs.

And you likely submitted offers on 18 different houses.

I helped clients buy homes in 2021 around 3% and I’ve helped clients buy home since then in the new 6% range.

The clients buying now are happier. Like A LOT happier.

Let’s look at why:

On a $300,000 mortgage the difference between 3% and 6% on your monthly payment is about $500/mth

But to access that 3% rate in 2021 you likely needed:

$10,000 for your own closing costs
$15,000 to pay over the value of the home (out of pocket)

$25,000 cost divided by $500 saved = 50 months.

In today’s market you may have the higher payment but you’re keeping $25K in the bank and actually winning for the first 50 months.

You also get to negotiate.

You also get to ask for repairs.

You can ask the seller to cover your closing costs (and then some)

And you can actually buy the house you WANT instead of buying the house that was finally willing to accept your offer.

Unfortunately the moment your house gets easy to sell, it becomes harder for you to buy.

And the moment it becomes really easy to buy, it gets harder for you to sell.

There is no perfect market.

If you’re considering selling or buying because there’s something in your life leading you there let’s put a team together and talk through a game plan.

We’ll look at both sides of the coin, run the real numbers and figure out what actually makes sense for you.

You don’t know until you try. So let’s try. šŸ¤“
