Should I sell now or wait?

The decision depends on market trends, your financial needs, and personal circumstances. Selling now can lock in gains and remove risk if prices may fall, but waiting may work if the market’s rising and you can hold comfortably. Review recent local sales, buyer demand, and your financial objectives to decide.

Diagnose your situation

• Check recent sales and current activity for homes like yours
• Is buyer demand strong or waning?
• Are there major personal/life reasons to sell sooner?

Options available

• Appraise now and set trigger points for a prompt sale if conditions change
• Prepare for market in advance – repairs, legal, agent interviews
• Consult reputable agency for a price/risk assessment

What to ask your agent

• How do you assess the current market versus 6–12 months ago?
• What is likely to drive prices up/down in my area?
• Can you show evidence for your advice?

FAQ

• Is it the right time for auctions?
• Is winter/summer better to sell?
