With low
inventory in our current market, many homeowners are afraid to sell their homes
because they’re concerned that they may not be able to find a new one. This can be a real problem, but if you are
seeking to sell…whether to upgrade, downsize, or find a new neighborhood…there
are a few ways to combat the low inventory.
Look to
Buy First – It could
be a real mistake to put your home up for sale before you start looking for
your new property. Identify the
geographic area where you are interested in buying. Even if you don’t see anything of interest on
the real estate websites you use, doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t find the
right home.
Think
Outside the Box –
Keep in mind that there are many people like you who want to make a move but
are hesitant, as well. As your real
estate agent, I would send a heartfelt and personal letter to the neighborhoods
in the geographic areas where you want to live, announcing that you are ready
to buy a home in that neighborhood. We
could find you a home to buy that may not even be currently listed for sale.
Protect
Yourself Legally - When we find a home you want to purchase, I
would ensure a clause is added in the purchase contract for the home you are
selling that will enable you to not sell the home if you cannot find a suitable
home to buy.
