Tracy Venturi: So the topics for today, yes.

Tego Venturi: Should this be the year that somebody sells their home? Tracy, that’s the topic. That’s one of them.

Tracy Venturi: So should it be, well, obviously what we always say, the first thing is, is it time for you to sell your house? Yeah. Right. I mean, the, the approach we’re taking is does the market support, is this the year you should sell your house, right? Not, you know, if you don’t need to sell your house, you don’t have a reason to sell your house. Should you sell your house? So let’s say you need to move in the next couple of years. Is it the year that you should sell your house? Well, what do you think?

Tego Venturi: I think if, if you let’s look at it from a timing, the market standpoint, right. If you’ve been waiting for home prices to be high or higher, then yeah. It’s a great time to sell. I mean, like just talked about home prices up nine, 10% versus last year. Right. however, if you’re just moving to somewhere else in town, you’re going to be paying, you know, 9%, 10% more than you did last year. So, you know, you have to balance that as part of it. When you look into the whole timing issue, now I will say this and we’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again is, you know, if you’re moving from a, let’s say sub median price, median prices around two 50 right now, if you’re selling a home in a lower price point, and you’re moving up into a higher price point, you know, lower price homes definitely went up higher in price last year, higher price homes, man. That was tough.

Tracy Venturi: So from that perspective, if you’re going to be a move up, buyer is what we call it. Yeah. It’s a great time. Yes. Right. Great time. Because you’re going to be in a great position when you sell and you’re going to be buying at a price point that hasn’t appreciated as much and taking advantage of the interest rates and rock, you know, assuming you use the loan locking in phenomenal interest rates and monthly payment for the next 30 years. Now, a lot of us say, I’m not going to be in my house for 30 years, but the analogy is you’re going to be paying to live somewhere in most cases, unless you’re moving in with mom or your children or a friend. Right. So if you’re going to have a monthly housing cost, you might as well be paying yourself instead of a landlord. So sidebar there,

Tego Venturi: I think it’s good. W why do you think Tracy, what would be another reason somebody should be thinking about selling this year? If it’s kind of been on their radar and now they’re going, you know, maybe this is a year,

Tracy Venturi: You know, I’m, I’m thinking shorter term when I answer this question. So yes, 20, 21 good time to be a seller for sure. But let’s talk about today, next week. Isn’t it right now, a good time to sell seven,

Tego Venturi: 9:00 PM.

Tracy Venturi: We put a home on the market. Today’s we put a home on the market two afternoons ago. And by that night, okay. This house is on the West side, 519,000. And by that evening, they’d already had two showings. You know, it’s the early January, not when you typically think of putting a $500,000 plus house on the market. Right. It’s not what people typically do, but there’s a lot of activity on that property. And next time we’re on the radio. We’ll probably be saying that house sold, right? Yeah. So right now is a good time because the springtime come March, April, may, there will be more homes on the market. We still won’t have enough on the market, but there will be more homes on the market competing for your buyer. So getting it on right away before the market gets hotter, I think is advantageous to sellers right now.

Tego Venturi: So if somebody’s going to sell this year, Tracy, what do you think? I mean, what are the, like, let’s say give three things that they should be thinking about. If they’re going to be selling their home this year,

Tracy Venturi: One of them would be to present it like a model home has bes
