We've finally decided to sell our current house and move into a bigger house with an additional bedroom and more storage, plus a basement!!! Now the trick is selling our home. Fortunately the home market is strong for sellers in our area, so I'm hoping it won't take long to sell. This will be the first time I've sold a home. When we moved into our current home, we moved out of an apartment when I finished grad school so there was nothing to sell. It's a lot easier to buy and move when you aren't trying to sell at the same time.
I've learned quite a bit in the home buying/selling process. In many ways it is a science. Determining the time of year when you first post your home listing can influence how quickly it sells. The quality of the pictures in the posting is a big help in getting people to view your home. You aren't going to get an offer unless people are viewing. The more home views you have, the greater your chances of an offer. And then there's pricing. A bad initial price can result in selling at a lower price later and/or waiting much longer to sell.
There's a reason most people aren't buying and selling homes on a more regular basis. It can be hard, time consuming, and stressful!!! We haven't yet sold, but hopefully soon! Not really excited about trying to pay two mortgage payments at the same time! Okay, writing this is making me stressed out. LOL! Time to take a break and binge watch something on Netflix. :-)
