If you’ve been sitting on the fence about selling your home, it’s time to take a serious look at the market—and the clock. Many homeowners are wondering whether they should wait until mortgage rates drop or prices go higher. But if you're waiting for a perfect storm, you may be waiting too long.

The truth is, right now may be one of the best moments you’ll have to sell—especially if you want to get strong offers without sitting on the market for months.

What’s Happening with Mortgage Rates

At the time of writing, 30-year fixed mortgage rates are hovering just under 7%. While that may sound high compared to the ultra-low rates of 2020 and 2021, it’s important to realize those were historic anomalies. Today’s rates are still within the normal range—and more importantly, buyers have already adjusted.

The shock is over. Serious buyers are back in the market. But if rates go up again—and some economists say they might—it could shrink the pool of qualified buyers. That means acting now puts you in front of more ready, willing, and able buyers.

Buyer Demand Is Heating Up

Despite the interest rate environment, buyer demand is rebounding. Why? Because inventory is still tight. Many homeowners are holding off on selling, which means there are fewer homes available—and more competition for the ones that are listed correctly and marketed well.

That gives you a major advantage as a seller. In fact, the right strategy can still create bidding wars and quick closings, especially if your home is priced and prepared properly from day one.

Waiting Could Cost You

If you're hoping that holding out will bring lower mortgage rates or better offers, consider the risks:

1. If rates increase again, buyer affordability drops—and so does competition.

2. If too many sellers flood the market later, your home will have to fight for attention.

3. If economic uncertainty increases, buyers may pull back entirely.

Selling now gives you control over timing and leverage in negotiations. Waiting introduces uncertainty.

You Don’t Need to Make Major Renovations

One of the biggest myths that keeps homeowners stuck is thinking they need to remodel their kitchen, replace the roof, or install high-end finishes before they list.

The truth? Most buyers want move-in ready—but that doesn’t mean expensive. With our staging consultations, light prep work, and strategic marketing, you can highlight your home’s best features without overspending.
