Selling Your Home
The market in Stockton and the Central Valley is not lending sellers any favors. The buyers market, interest rate changes, and NAR changes have made some people uneasy about the market. But selling your Stockton home should not be a scary process.
If you are thinking of placing your home for sale, thinking through the major parts of the sale process will be crucial to having a good selling experience. So before you sell your Stockton home, there are few questions that you will want to ask yourself. These questions will help you set yourself up for success in your upcoming endeavor.
How Soon Do I Want My Home To Sell?
The market does not always lend itself to our timelines. As much as we want a home to sell in a certain timeframe, the demand for a home like yours will determine how quickly your Stockton home will sell. If you are in a buyers market, it will likely take longer for your home to sell.
Knowing your hopes will help you ask better questions when you meet with an agent. They will help you set up proper expectations on how long it could take your home to sell. This will help curb disappointments.
Talking about your timing needs can also bring up conversations about alternative options. Homes don’t have to sell by being placed on the market. Some agents have buyers on speed dial waiting for the right home to buy. If you need to sell your home faster than the market allows, these buyers or a cash buyer would be a good alternative to the traditional sales process.
How Much Money Am I Willing To Invest In Selling My House?
Selling your home is not always a cheap task. Depending on the market you are getting into, you may need to invest in your home before selling. This can be anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on your home and the market.
There are times that major repairs will need to be done in order for your home to sell. During escrow, buyers can still back out if there are problems with your home that you can’t negotiate out. This is more common in a buyers market because there are more options for buyers to look at.
Other times all you need is a little curb appeal and a fresh coat of paint. Little fixes can go a long way to updating your home and driving buyers through the door. Take a look at the market and have an honest conversation with a professional to see what fixes you may want to make and how the fixes can affect your home sale.
How Much Money Do I Need To Make From The Sale?
While demand will really decide what your home is currently worth, you still have a dollar amount in mind of what you need to make when you sell your home. This may be the biggest question you ask yourself as you start your home sale process. It can determine the direction of your sale, who you work with, and what fixes you make to your home.
When you look at the dollar amount you are selling your home for, it can be easy to fall in love with what you will take home. But there is more to the equation. You will need to consider the cost of agent fees, repairs, your mortgage while your home sits on the market, and any concessions during escrow such as rate buydowns or rent backs.All of these will take a little off the top of what you plan on getting from your sale. Keep these in mind when you are deciding the best way to go about selling your Stockton house.
