Understanding What You Can Control in the Sale of Your Home

Selling your home involves variables, some of which are within your control and others that are not. Knowing the difference can empower you and help set realistic expectations. Here’s a quick guide:

What You Can’t Control

• Market Competition: You’re selling in a market with other home sellers, and their properties will impact your sale.

• Market Conditions: Economic factors and housing trends that influence buyer behavior are beyond your influence.

• Interest Rates: Fluctuations in mortgage interest rates can affect buyer affordability and are determined by financial markets.

• Timing of the Perfect Buyer: Finding the right buyer who falls in love with your property is often a matter of luck and timing.

What You Can Control

• Property Condition: You have the power to present your home at its best, with repairs, upgrades, and staging.

• Asking Price: Set a competitive price that reflects the current market and your home’s value.

• Home Warranty: Offering a home warranty can make your property more attractive by giving buyers peace of mind.

• Availability for Showings: The more flexible you are with showings, the higher the chance of finding a buyer.

• Choosing the Right Realtor®: Partner with a Realtor® who has a proven track record and understands your needs and the local market.
