If you are a current North Shore homeowner or renter, now
may be the time to consider if your living space is suitable for your current
and future needs. This summer is a great time to sell your North Shore home, as
buyer demand is high and prices have continued to increase at a steady rate.
It’s also a great time to buy again after you sell, because mortgage rates have
remained low!
As your North Shore real estate agent, I understand that
homeowners and renters sometimes have to move, even if they love their home, so
that it better fits their needs. If you’re considering a relocation in Glencoe, Winnetka, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook, Lake Forest, Wilmette, Evanston, Glenview, Riverwoods, Bannockburn, and other North Shore communities, now is the time to contact me and get started!
If you’re not sure if you need to upsize or downsize your
home, here are some questions to ask:
1. Is there enough space for you? If you have a growing family,
you may have started to notice that your kids are outgrowing their shared
bedrooms, or that the kitchen or dining space feels crammed at mealtime. If your family is continuing to grow, your
North Shore home may need to grow, too.
2. Is there too much space for you? On the other hand, perhaps you are retired or will soon be retiring, and your adult
children have moved out. Your home is bigger than you know what to do with. If
the stairs are becoming a nuisance, or the cleaning seems endless, it may be
time to downsize.
3. Is the yard too big or small? Buyers are seeking outdoor
space, so if you have a growing family, with either kids or pets, you may be
wanting a larger yard to enjoy. If you’re thinking of downsizing, keeping up with the mowing and gardening in your large yard might feel like too much work now.
4. Could you use a location improvement? If you are growing
your family, you may be seeking a new location with a more family-friendly
neighborhood, community amenities, safety and better schools. If downsizing,
you may be seeking a location closer to family or in walking distance to
restaurants, stores or public transportation.
5. Has your financial situation changed? If you recently got a
better paying job or a promotion, you may be ready to move up to a bigger,
better home. If you recently lost a job or had an unforeseen expense arise, or
you’re retiring and want to do some traveling, you may be wanting to lower your
mortgage.
Our needs are constantly changing in life, so it’s only
normal for our real estate needs to change as well! If you think you might be
ready to upsize or downsize your North Shore home soon, give me a call. As your
North Shore real estate agent, I can answer your questions, help you sell, and
help you find a home in Glencoe, Winnetka, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook, Lake Forest, Wilmette, Evanston, Glenview, Riverwoods, Bannockburn, and other North Shore communities, that better suits your current and future
needs!
