Local insights on buying, selling, and living in Fairfield County

If I Sell My Home, Where Will I Go?

by 7 Comments

Like the majority of homeowners right now, you are sitting tight even though you would prefer to be living somewhere else. Yet your current home no longer meets your needs or desires. You have hopes and dreams about a new home but, you don’t see a path for how to make it happen.

What if a path and a plan could be created?

My clients have done a variety of things. I’ll share a few of their stories to get the juices flowing! Those serious about finding their new home have been able to find it. Some bought a new home before they sold. Some found their next home during the process of selling their current one. Others sold their house and created an interim plan of temporary housing and storage, (okay, not convenient, but if you ask them now, they will tell you it was worth it 100 times over!). And my most recent seller cashed out and followed her long-time dream of traveling overseas for six months before returning to shop for her new home. So there are many ideas, options, and solutions.

Everyone who’s selling knows exactly where they’re going, right?

Here’s an interesting observation I made after going on the broker tour in Fairfield last week. Click the image below to listen!

Okay, I might have some options on where to go, but there are more things to consider.

I know there are concerns about interest rates, high prices, and inflation. Take a look at this post for some additional insights from the experts. Once you feel you are ready to make a purchase, here are the key steps to consider.

I am prepared to discuss your plans and how to get you there. Call me today for a no-obligation consultation.
