There are some surefire signs that it’s time to sell your house that you shouldn’t ignore. They fall into three topics.

  1. You’re cramped. If you’ve added kids, cats, or dogs to your family since buying the house, or maybe you’ve just acquired a lot of stuff, your home could just be running out of space, and it’s time to move up. Typically what we see with first-time home buyers is that they’re calling us back in about two or three years letting us know that their starter home is running out of space.
  2. You’re over the neighborhood. Many people first move into a kid-friendly neighborhood with younger kids, but don’t want to live in that demographic when their kids are grown, and they want a more adult-friendly setting that’s laid back without the bikes, skateboards, and noise.
  3. In this market, some people can’t afford not to move!
  4. You have too much space. This is common with people who have retired and all their kids and family members have moved out. They have a huge 5,400 square foot house with just two people, and it’s just too much space to maintain. I recently worked with a client in this position who wanted to move down to a 1,700 square foot house.

Another reason we’re hearing right now in the Jonesboro market is that some people simply can’t afford not to sell. With interest rates as low as they are and buyer demand where it is, many people can clean up their homes and make a lot of money selling right now.
