The year is coming to a close and you may be wondering if now is a good time to sell your home.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• Are you emotionally ready to sell your home?
• Do you have enough equity built up to pay off mortgages secured against your property?
• Is your home ready for the market?  Homes that sell the quickest are those that are move-in ready and need very little, to no repairs.

Ask your realtor about other homes in your area.  Is there a lot of competition right now?  If not, now could be a great time to sell.

The end of the year is typically slower than most other months.  With low interest rates, now could be a great time to take advantage of a slow market, when other sellers are waiting.

If your home is move-in ready and you want to sell, don’t wait!

If you’re worried about the busy holiday season ahead, change your showing procedure and ask your realtor for advance notice.  You’ll still be able to enjoy your holidays with family and friends.  A year-end sale could be just the present you’ve been wanting this holiday season.
