If you’re considering selling your home but feel uncertain about whether now is the right time, you’re not alone. Many homeowners hesitate because they have unanswered questions about the market, home prices, and buyer demand. Let’s address some of the biggest concerns so you can move forward with confidence.
Is Now a Good Time To Sell?
With mortgage rates fluctuating, many homeowners are unsure if selling makes financial sense. However, what you might not realize is just how much your home’s value has likely increased over the years.
According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the typical homeowner has gained $147,000 in home equity over the past five years. That’s a significant amount that can help you make a strong move into your next home. Whether you’re looking to upsize, downsize, or relocate, your built-up equity can play a major role in making that transition smoother.
Will I Be Able To Find a Home I Love?
If you’ve been worried about finding your next home, there’s good news—inventory levels have improved. According to Realtor.com, the number of homes on the market is up nearly 25% compared to last year. And experts predict inventory will continue increasing, giving buyers even more options.
While the market isn’t back to pre-pandemic levels just yet, the improvements mean you have a better chance of finding a home that meets your needs. With more listings available, you’ll have a wider selection of homes to choose from and a better chance to negotiate a deal that works for you.
Are Buyers Still Out There?
One of the biggest misconceptions right now is that no one is buying due to interest rates and home prices. But the reality is quite different. While the market may not be as intense as it was in recent years, homes are still selling every single day.
According to NAR, roughly 4.24 million homes sold last year (excluding new construction). That means:
📌 11,616 homes sell every day
📌 484 homes sell every hour
📌 8 homes sell every minute
So even in the time it’s taken you to read this article, multiple homes have sold! The market isn’t at a standstill—buyers are actively looking, and your home could be exactly what they need.
Bottom Line
If uncertainty has been holding you back from selling, now is the time to get the facts. The market is shifting, and conditions are becoming more favorable for sellers who are ready to make a move.
