Don’t Let These Two Concerns Hold You Back from Selling Your House

As a homeowner, deciding whether to sell your house can feel overwhelming, especially with today’s market dynamics. You may be wondering if now is the right time, but there’s good news: the real estate market has created opportunities for sellers that you don’t want to overlook.

Here are two common concerns that might be holding you back—and why you shouldn’t let them stop you from making your move.



Concern 1: What About Inventory? Are There Too Many Homes for Sale?

It’s true—inventory has increased significantly, with a 30% year-over-year growth, according to Realtor.com. But even with this rise, we’re still below pre-pandemic inventory levels, meaning demand for homes remains strong.

Buyers are continuing to show up. In fact, the Mortgage Bankers Association reports an increase in purchase mortgage applications, even higher than the same time last year. More buyers in the market mean your home has a strong chance of selling quickly.

Concern 2: Are Home Prices Dropping? Will I Lose Value?

Home prices have moderated, but they’re far from falling. CoreLogic’s Home Price Index shows prices are still growing, just at a slower rate—3% annually as of September. Plus, as Dr. Selma Hepp, Chief Economist at CoreLogic, notes:

“Persistent home price growth has continued to fuel home equity gains for existing homeowners who now average about $315,000 in equity—almost $129,000 more than at the onset of the pandemic.”

This means that even in a moderating market, you’re likely sitting on significant equity that can help fund your next move.

Why Now Might Be the Time to Sell

Experts are optimistic about the future of real estate. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) forecasts a 10% boost in existing home sales by 2025 and 2026, with steady price growth of 2% annually over the next two years. Listing your home now positions you to benefit from these favorable conditions while buyers are still actively searching.
