Wondering if it’s a good idea to sell in 2024? Well, real estate experts are optimistic! They predict a continued housing shortage, and with high buyer demand expected to boost home prices, 2024 seems like a great time to consider selling. On the bright side, they also anticipate a leveling out of the elevated mortgage rates from 2023, with rates expected to settle around 6% – 7% in the spring. Happy selling!

The current market dynamics have significantly impacted the price of homes, with notable factors such as soaring interest rates and a scarcity of available properties contributing to a remarkable surge in property values. In the prevailing economic climate, interest rates have reached unprecedented highs, prompting prospective homebuyers to act swiftly to secure mortgages before rates climb even higher. This surge in demand, coupled with a limited inventory of homes for sale, has created an intensely competitive environment. The result has been a substantial uptick in property values, rendering the current market one of the most favorable for sellers in recent history. With more buyers competing for fewer available homes, sellers are in a prime position to capitalize on the heightened demand.
The proximity of your home to amenities like restaurants, parks, transit, and shopping will affect its value. Buyers also assess the neighborhood’s security and the quality of nearby schools and leisure services.
If a homebuyer is financing the property with a mortgage (the most typical situation), the property’s appraised value must be equal to or greater than the purchase price. The buyer’s lending institution employs an independent appraiser who uses a procedure comparable to ours to determine the worth of your house. Unless the home appraises for the contract amount or higher, we must renegotiate the purchase terms before closing.
Comps are the primary benchmarks used to assess the market value of your property or house. A comparable is a property similar to yours and has recently sold in the area.
Homes that have been well-maintained and have received infrastructure upgrades such as roofing, plumbing, and heating/cooling may receive better offers. Depending on the homebuyer, additions, renovations, and special amenities such as pools may also boost value.
Here are some suggestions for increasing the value of your property.
