Are you seeing a growing number of For Sale signs in your neighborhood and the surrounding area? It could be a sign for you to sell as well. I know; hear me out…

You’ve been inundated with the reports of the low inventory in our market, so you’re probably wondering how, if you do sell, where you will find another (bigger) home for you and your family to move into. If you’re thinking of “moving up,” reports show an increase in new listings each month this year, nearly doubling from March to May, which means it could be an excellent time to sell and find a home this summer.

While the increase in new listings is excellent news for buyers, it’s also an opportunity for current homeowners like you, who long for more space, features, and a bigger house.

Here’s how:

You’ll have more options.

With new listings come more of a variety of the types of homes you can choose from. Are your kids sharing a bedroom and now want their own? Are your teens in need of a hangout space? Have you been craving an updated kitchen or a pool to relax in? Work with an experienced real estate agent, who can not only list your home at the best price possible for that upgrade, but also keep a keen eye on the market for when those homes that meet your wish list pop up. It’s all in the timing, which the best in this business can handle.

Make your move now.

Studies say that the time to sell is now. The increase in new listings is expected to continue, with two-thirds of homeowners saying they’ll sell by August before the kids return to school. If you want to sell your home, stand out and step up before the rest of the competition does the same. This is quite the unique opportunity in this sellers’ market we’re in today, so take advantage of it.
