The time to sell your home in North Texas is now

It’s the best time to be a seller in today’s market.

In North Texas, in particular, a home seller can get as many as 20 to 30 offers from different buyers just days after publishing their home listing. With numerous competing buyers vying to own their dream home, offers can go as high as twice or more beyond the asking price.

If you own a home in the North Texas areas of Dallas County, Rockwall County, Collin County, Kaufman County, and Tarrant County, you are in the incredible position to profit from the unprecedented demand.

If you’ve been holding on to your house for some time and have been waiting for the right conditions to get maximum return on investment, now is the time to sell.

If you’ve been thinking about starting the next phase of your life, investing in an enterprise, pursuing your passion, or fulfilling more of what you dream of for your family, now is the time to make it happen by selling your home.

Tips on how to sell your house now

  • Sellers need to be one step ahead. With homes selling like hotcakes, sellers must have a new home at the ready to anticipate a buyer’s desire to move in quickly. This is an important tip to keep in mind, whether you’re selling to upgrade to a larger home or to downsize to a more manageable one.
  • “Home office” and “study rooms” are your marketing buzzwords. Work with your real estate agent to pinpoint areas of the house with the potential to become flexi-spaces or dedicated offices. Show buyers that your home is ideal for remote work and learning. It could be your edge against other sellers in the neighborhood.
  • Emphasize your location. As people continue to spend most of their time indoors, location becomes an even more crucial selling point. Convenient access to schools, hospitals, and other services will be key factors that will compel buyers to make stronger offers.

Selling your home can be a potentially life-changing decision. As the former manager of a clothing store, I made the decision to pivot to real estate when a customer told me, “If you put as much effort into Real Estate as you do into this store, sweet pea, you would be a rich woman.”
