If you\u2019re a homeowner thinking about selling your house, you\u2019re probably looking for the best time to make your move. That means you\u2019re likely balancing a number of factors, like your changing needs<\/a>, where you\u2019ll go when you sell, and today\u2019s mortgage rates<\/a> in order to time it just right.<\/p>\n

According to recent data, that sweet spot could already be here. The latest Home Purchase Sentiment Index<\/em> (HPSI) by Fannie Mae<\/em> finds that 76% of consumers believe now is a good time to sell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The graph below shows the percentage of survey respondents who say it\u2019s a good time to sell a house. The big dip in March and April of 2020 reflects how consumer sentiment dropped at the beginning of the pandemic as uncertainty about the health crisis grew. Since then, the percentage has grown consistently as more people feel confident it\u2019s a good time to sell.<\/p>\n

In fact, survey respondents think it\u2019s an even better time to sell a house today than they did in 2019, which was a strong year for the housing market. The latest survey results indicate one of the strongest peaks in seller sentiment in nearly three years (see graph below<\/em>):<\/p>\n

What Makes Today a Good Time To Sell?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One reason so many people think it\u2019s a good time to sell is because there are still more buyers in today\u2019s market than there are homes for sale. That\u2019s driving <\/strong>home prices<\/strong><\/a> up, making it a good time to sell your house.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re on the fence about whether or not to sell because you don\u2019t know where you\u2019ll go once you do, know that you might have more options today than in previous months. That\u2019s because the number of homes<\/a> coming onto the market has grown each month since the start of the year. When more homes come onto the market, it gives you more opportunities to find one that meets your changing needs.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While the number of homes available for sale is growing and giving you more options for your move, inventory is still low overall. That could mean it\u2019s a great time for you to sell. If you\u2019re ready to address your changing needs and take advantage of today\u2019s favorable conditions, let\u2019s connect.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
