As you make your decision, think about what\u2019s motivating you to consider moving. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/research\/2023-q1-sellers-survey\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">survey<\/a> from <em>realtor.com<\/em> asked why homeowners are thinking about selling their houses this year. Here are the top two reasons (<em>see graphic below<\/em>):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230404-why-are-you-considering-selling-your-home-in-2023-MEM.png\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/20230404-why-are-you-considering-selling-your-home-in-2023-MEM.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s break those reasons down and explore how they might resonate with you.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. I Want To Take Advantage of the Current Market and Make a Profit<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When you decide to sell your house, how much you\u2019ll make from the sale will likely be top of mind. So, here\u2019s some good news: according to the latest data, the average seller can expect a strong return on their investment when they make a move. <em>ATTOM <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attomdata.com\/hnr\/us-home-seller-profits-top-50-percent-in-2022-despite-market-slowdown\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">explains<\/a>:\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThe $112,000 profit on median-priced home sales in 2022 represented a 51.4% return on investment compared to the original purchase price, up from 44.6% last year and from 32.8% in 2020.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even though home prices have declined slightly in some markets, they\u2019re still much higher overall than they were just a few years ago. To understand what\u2019s happening with home prices in your area and the current value of your house, work with a local real estate professional. They can give you the best advice on how much you could gain if you sell this year.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2.\u00a0My Home No Longer Meets My Needs<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The average person has been in their house for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/blogs\/economists-outlook\/eleven-takeaways-from-the-2022-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ten years<\/a>. That\u2019s a long time when you think about how much may have changed in your life since you moved in. And typically, those changes have a direct impact on what you need in a home. Whether it\u2019s more (or less) space, different features, or a location closer to your work or loved ones, your current house may no longer check all the boxes of what feels like home to you. If that\u2019s the case, it could be time to work with a real estate agent to find a better fit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/files.keepingcurrentmatters.com\/content\/images\/20230403\/20230404-2-reasons-you-should-sell-your-house-KCM.jpg\" alt=\"Two Reasons You Should Sell Your House Simplifying The Market\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: block;margin-bottom: 5px;clear: both;max-width: 100%\"><\/p>\n<p>Wondering if you should sell your house this year?\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"bgseo_title":"","bgseo_description":"","bgseo_robots_index":"","bgseo_robots_follow":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,85,86,133],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-for-sellers","category-housing-market-updates","category-selling-myths"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8575\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.sfloridaluxuryhomes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
