It’s no secret that the Central Valley has become more expensive to live in. Bay Area jobs and prices have driven Valley prices to try and match. For those who continue to live and work in the Stockton area, taking advantage of the equity and selling your home is becoming more and more appealing.

The problem with taking advantage of the equity in our homes is competing with everyone else who’s trying to do the same. Getting the money that you need from selling your home May take longer than you anticipated. it may also cost you more than you are currently able to afford.

If you need to take advantage of the equity in your home, you have two options. You can post your home for sale on the market, or sell to someone without going on the market.

Steps to Selling On The Market

Preparing To Sell

After connecting with someone who has a good pulse on the market, it will be time to prepare your home.  Each home is different in how much work and the type of work that should be done to it. Listen to a professional about the upgrades and repairs that you should do prior to listing your home.  You want to take care of things that will give you the highest return and that would otherwise risk the sale of your home.

Finding A Buyer

Right now in the Stockton area, it takes over 30 days to find a buyer. This is 30 days of keeping the home presentable, open houses, general upkeep and bills.During this time the goal is to get as many people to see your home as possible and make a great impression on each one.

Keeping The Buyer

After you find your buyer, you have the escrow process, which is about another month. During this process your home is going to be thoroughly inspected to make sure everyone has all the information about your home. Your buyers finances will be thoroughly reviewed, making sure they can truly buy your home. The buyer’s financing could fall through during escrow. Or you could find them walking away based on the inspection or appraisal results. If these happen, you will find yourself back at the start looking for another buyer.
