Why It Makes Sense To Sell Your Home Now

With the start of spring, the housing market is gearing up for its active season. While that may mean more potential buyers, it also means more competition when it comes to selling your home. If you’ve been exploring the Ridgefield WA new homes, we invite you to explore our extensive array of beautiful homes. In the meantime, now is a key time to put your current home on the market.

Trying to figure out the best time to sell to get the best offer is a challenge. However, market experts aren’t expecting any big increases in home prices this year, so putting off selling your home for a few months isn’t going to result in much difference in terms of potential asking/selling price.

While there are more homes on the market starting in the spring, there’s still currently a relatively lower housing inventory. So if you list your home now, you still have less overall competition. Take advantage of this now, as the number of available houses is set to increase this year, so it’s best to sell now while supply and demand are in your favor.

Homeowners with particularly low mortgage interest rates may be hesitant to sell at this point, not wanting to lose their low rate. However, after a period of rising interest rates, they’ve begun to drop and are expected to remain more attractive and affordable. While they are comparatively lower, they’re not expected to drop significantly, so now is a good time to buy. Plus, you may find attractive rates from home builders, such as our current limited-time 30-year fixed rate offer available on select homes.

Don’t forget that the cost of moving also tends to go up in the summer, so the sooner you sell and can move into your new home, the better rate you can get on moving costs. Summer is peak moving time and the prices reflect this heavy busy period. Moving earlier not only gives you better pricing, but also gives you more time in the summer to actually settle into your new home, rather than settling in, just as the fall and winter holiday periods – not to mention school – ramp up.

If you’re looking for Ridgefield WA new homes, we have some move-in-ready homes, but they’re already selling quickly. Of course, we have plenty of other options, not to mention a great interest-rate offer, so contact us today to learn more about our beautiful homes and communities and why now is the perfect time to find your dream home.
