Benefits of Selling Now Instead of Later

We all know, here in Santa Clarita Valley, that we missed the big boat of selling a few years ago. But, as mothers around the world tell us, in many different languages:

Sie Können Über Verschütteter Milch nicht Weinen (You Can't Cry Over Spilled Milk) 

or Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda.

Today is a new day, today with our inventory at amazingly low levels, is the perfect day to consider selling your home. If you were thinking maybe in the next year or so, I'll sell my Valencia house. Before the fall holidays, I want to sell my Newhall condo. You really don't want to celebrate the ball dropping for 2013 in your Saugus townhouse....now is a great time for a Standard Sale.

Again, you can't look back. And, we won't have those kinds of values for an extremely long time. Don't wait for it. But, if you were thinking about selling your Canyon Country charmer, or your sprawling Sand Canyon beauty....consider this:

Sellers are getting multiple offers....right now, because the inventory is so low. At 613 time of this posting. As the inventory grows, that will happen less and less. Multiple offers means more money to the seller. No if's, and's, or butts about it.

Do a little math. If you can get 5% over list price now, why wait another year to sell when we're hoping for 4% appreciation in that time period? Now, don't kid yourself, if you have to find a replacement property, it will be challenging to say the least. But, if you want to sell and get out of dodge.....consider sooner than later.....there's no reason to wait.
