5 Real Estate Resolutions For 2022

January 21, 2022

Being a homeowner is never easy, but being a homeowner trying to sell your home – or anticipating a move in the near future – is a stressful prospect. If you’re assessing your options for relocating, the New Year is a great time to take stock of what you’ve got and where you want to go. For all homeowners considering putting your place up for sale in 2022, here are our 5 Real Estate Resolutions:

Keep Saving For a Downpayment

When you’re planning to sell your house, you’re also planning to buy a new one. The key to standing out in a crowded real estate buying market is to be preapproved for a loan. You will want to have anywhere from three to twenty percent of the loan amount saved up for a downpayment. The start of the year is a great time to create a savings plan to commit to each month.

Keep Your Eyes On the Market

If the last three years have taught us anything, it’s that the real estate market is volatile right now. We have seen the market go from all time lows to all time highs in a matter of months. It is clear now that who benefits the most from the fluctuation is not whoever is scrambling to adjust, but who stays ready in advance. Waiting for the best time to sell your house is great when you know that you’ll already be ready as soon as it comes.

Stay On Top of Payments

Make sure to stay on top of your regular payments and household upkeep during the process. It makes your home look better to potential buyers and makes you look better to potential sellers. With everything going on, it’s easy to let something slip through the cracks. Don’t let that happen.

Enjoy the Process

Sure, the real estate process can be stressful. Take some time to have a little fun in it, though! You’re looking for a new home, and helping select the best person to carry on yours. There is a lot of fun to be had as you search for the very best option.

Get the Help You Need

A home does not get sold all on its own. It takes a successful team to engineer a successful sale. You want to assemble a group of people who all know what they’re doing and are excited to help out your house.
