In today’s housing market, homeowners have a great opportunity to sell their house and receive the best terms for their personal situation. That’s because there’s a limited number of homes for sale, which is creating competition among buyers. Right now, homebuyers want three things:
- To be the winning bid on their dream home
- To buy before mortgage rates rise more
- To buy before home prices go even higher
These buyer needs give you an amazing advantage – also known as leverage – when you sell.
