Should you sell your home now or wait ……?

The right time to sell your property is when you have something
better to do with the money.

You might sell the home you live in to find more space for a growing family.
Or to downsize to a more manageable property.

Maybe you plan to shift to a cheaper town and work remotely, so you can
reduce your mortgage or remove it completely.

You might choose to sell an investment property to free up cash for your
retirement. Or to buy that motorhome you’ve always wanted.
Maybe you want to start a business and chase that entrepreneurial dream
you have always had.

All of these are valid reasons to make a move. Smart ways to use the equity
you have built up in your current home to progress forward in life.

Property is best utilised when it is considered a vehicle to help us get where
we want to go. Whether it’s making long-held dreams a possibility, like
starting a business or providing financial security throughout retirement.

As an owner, the question of whether to sell can pop up regularly, especially
if you own a rental property or holiday home as well. This potentially causes
ongoing low-level anxiety as you ponder what the right move might be.
When you catch yourself in this mindset, remember that endlessly
pondering a question with no clear answer is a bit like worrying in general:
it gives you something to do but it won’t get you anywhere.

One strategy to remove anxiety from the equation is to avoid trying to time
the market. Many owners ponder whether to sell their property because
they feel the market has ‘hit its peak’ or ‘maybe it’s just the right time’. But no
one knows what markets are going to do in the future. You might sell now
and miss out on massive capital gain moving forward. Or you might just end
up being the smartest person on the planet.

Picking the top of any market is simply speculation.

Instead, you might take a position that you will sell your property when you
have something better to do with the money. Regardless of whether the
market is pumping hot or simply lukewarm. Either way, if you have held
your property long enough, you will likely have made significant capital
gain.

Hopefully, this impending windfall is enough to make your dream come
true, whatever that might be.

Once you know the right time has come to sell, getting the best possible
price will largely be determined by choosing the right real estate
professional to market your property.
