3. The Sales Process Will Be Quicker

One of the biggest challenges of the 2014 Housing Market has been the length of time it takes from contract to closing.  Banks are requiring more and more paperwork before approving mortgages.  As the Local Sales Market heats up, Banks will be flooded with inquiries, processing new loans and increasing timelines to closings; thus, putting your lives on hold.  

4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move-Up

If you are moving up to a larger, more expensive home, consider doing it now. Prices are projected to appreciate by over 19% from now to 2018.  If you are moving to a higher priced home, it will cost you more money, both in down payment and mortgage payment; if you wait.  You can also lock-in your 30 year housing expense with an interest rate at approximately 4.5% right now.  Mortgage Rates are projected to be well over 5% for the 2015 Sales Market; only 11 months from now.

5. It’s Time to Move On with Your Life

Look at the reason you decided to Sell Your Home in the first place and decide whether it’s worth waiting.  Is money more important than being with your family, having your health, freedom or Quality of Life?  How much more money do you think you’ll net by waiting?  One year is insignificant; 4 years will net you more Only if trading Down, but cost you More if trading Up.
