So, with market conditions pretty much ideal, what are some other indicators that it might to be time to make the move and sell your house?

The most common reason why people consider selling their home is that it is no longer suitable to their life, or meeting their needs. Your family may be growing, requiring more space, or just the opposite, and you may be able to downsize and collect a tidy profit out of your investment.

Whether looking to expand, relocate, or downsize keep in mind that your monthly payment should equal 25 percent or less of your take-home pay. In addition, the shorter the mortgage period the less interest is paid on the mortgage.

Many people have the desire to sell their home and move, but whether or not it is the right time to do so largely depends on if they are financially able to. Moving has costs that need to be considered that go beyond closing costs and legal fees. Don’t forget to consider expenses such as hiring movers and trucks, and most importantly, allocating some funds to get your current home ready for the market.

When looking to make changes consider the fact that kitchens and bathrooms sell homes, fresh paint goes a long way, and curb appeal will attract buyers to the home.
