Real Estate - to sell home now?

[Jessica4585]

Hello guys...

We are not debt free and we only lived in this house for two years...We have moved 3 times and we decided that we need to move again. There is a virus outbreak right now and obviously real estate isn't essential but apparently some agents are moving business forward by following guidelines. We would not meet our agent, they would come with with mask and gloves and take pictures while talking to us on the phone...Then we would have a lot of zoom meetings and stuff...

Anyways, we have to move because our kids can't sleep because this is a major route traffic...Since market prices are going to be going down in June, we want to sell now...We added a new full bath to the house and finished part of a basement (it was a nightmare doing laundry but now it is beautiful and very close to the entrance to the basement, and total finished floor to ceiling and lighting) as well as put in amazin soundproof windows, and make a lot of lighting/electrical improvements and other things like remodeled a room and put in a new front door...However the garage is a nightmare and the sunroom is sinking...But I want to still sell now without fixing the sunroom and the garage because if the prices are dropping then I don't see why it would be worth it...My husband wants to wait longer but I feel like I can't sleep and I just want to move. We have some money saved and we have about 20K indebt , line of credit, camping trailer, and new windows.
Edit:
Also..I really want to do for sale by owner, DH is adamant about not doing it that way. I think that since we are on a major route we would get a lot of exposure...There is the big scare that we might not be able to price it right, but I wonder if we can just hire a professional house appraiser to help us...
Also, I wonder, since market prices are going down...when it comes time for the buyer to get an appraisal from the bank, it would probably be a few months from now...if the market prices have gone down, wouldn't the bank say to the buyer that they can't loan them what they offered us for the house (say they made a good offer because it was a seller's market when they made the offer?)

P.S. I tried to look for a board on real estate on here, but there isn't one? Let me know if I posted on the right board! And thank you for your time and advice! Kindness is appreciated

Edit again: my mind is just racing and I need some grounding advice..maybe rushing it isn't a good idea and we can just suffer until the sunroom and garage are done...and risk that maybe the housing market isn't going to take the fall that everyone seems to say will happen

Maybe having a chat with a real estate agent or a financial advisor could help ease your mind.

We moved during a hectic time too, and it was a bit of a rollercoaster. We were stressed about our house, which also needed some repairs, and we didn't have the funds to fix everything. We added a bathroom and did some basement work, but our roof had issues, and the yard was a mess.Honestly, the soundproof windows were a lifesaver for us since we lived on a busy street too. Selling by owner sounds tempting, but it's a lot to handle. We ended up working with a property management company Kingston, and they were amazing. They helped us with everything, and we didn't have to stress about showings or paperwork.If you're worried about pricing, hiring an appraiser could be a good idea. It might be worth the investment to get a realistic idea of what your home is worth. And with market prices potentially dropping, it's understandable to want to sell now.

Hello I am looking at selling our home in Calgary. I have been through the buying / selling process before and with the way the market is I don’t think (personally) it is worth hiring a realtor.

The property shows very well and I still would like to use a photographer and a lawyer.

Has anyone done this? If so what steps did you take and what would you recommend / avoid a second time around.

Selling your home without a realtor can save on fees, but it requires careful planning. Start by researching the market to set a competitive price. Hire a professional photographer for high-quality photos and work with a real estate lawyer to handle the paperwork and legal aspects. List your property on popular platforms and manage showings yourself. For a fast, hassle-free sale with instant cash and minimal paperwork, consider working with Mr Home Buyer, they offer quick deals, perfect for homeowners seeking a streamlined process.

Hey guys, I'm really struggling to sell my property fast in Seattle for cash. The market seems competitive, and there are so many third-party agents demanding huge commissions, but I’m not keen on paying any agent fees. I’d prefer to sell directly without dealing with high commission rates. Has anyone here successfully sold their home quickly for cash without involving agents? What are some tips or strategies to attract cash buyers directly?

Selling directly to cash buyers in Seattle is possible and can save on agent fees. Start by marketing your property on platforms like Craigslist, Zillow, or Facebook Marketplace. Highlight features appealing to cash buyers, like a competitive price and move-in-ready condition.

Reach out to reliable cash buyer groups like Sell My House Fast Group, known for hassle-free transactions and no agent fees. The reason to suggest this group because they sell my property fast in 3 working days. Be transparent, provide all necessary documents, and consider offering a slight discount for a quick sale. Research potential buyers to avoid scams and ensure a smooth, fair transaction.

It sounds like you're in a tough spot, balancing your desire to move with concerns about market conditions and finances. If you believe the market will drop soon, selling now could be a good idea, but selling as-is may result in a lower price. If you're considering selling without an agent, hiring an appraiser to help price the house correctly is a good step. However, you may miss out on the expertise and exposure an agent offers. If you’re in a hurry, cash home buyers Everett could offer a quick solution, but be mindful of the potentially lower offers. As for the appraisal, if the market drops, the bank might appraise the house lower, affecting the buyer's loan. It’s important to weigh your urgency to move with your financial situation and market timing.

If you're thinking about selling your home, now could be a great time depending on your local market. Buyers are still active, and well-presented homes are moving quickly. One way to increase appeal and value is by investing in improvements like a Fort Lauderdale soundproofing service especially if your property is near busy streets or loud neighbors. This can make your home more attractive to potential buyers seeking peace and quiet. Always consult a local real estate expert to get the best timing and strategy for your sale.
