Selling your home involves more costs and complexities than many people realize – prepare financially and emotionally for the process.
You’ll pay realtor commissions, closing costs, moving expenses, and potentially capital gains taxes.
Price your home competitively based on recent comparable sales, not what you hope it’s worth.
The longer your home sits on the market, the more carrying costs you’ll pay and the lower offers you’ll likely receive.
Consider whether you’ll buy before you sell, sell before you buy, or do both simultaneously.
Each approach has different financial implications and stress levels.
Have realistic expectations about timing – the process often takes longer than anticipated, especially in slower markets.
